Hi,

The next set of tasks for the coming weeks, before the mid term evaluation, are mostly subscription and membership related actions for the CLI.

The various actions that are to be implemented are

Show members of a list

The list members of a list feature is currently available as a part of the users module, that takes list name as an argument.

show user –list list@domain.org

This does not print the names of the list owners and moderators who are not members of the list by default. They can be added to the list by appending the list.owners and list.moderators to the member list. Is there a necessity of a new command under the list scope that does the same function?

show-members list list@domain.org

Subscribe/Unsubscribe users from a list

The commands suitably belongs to the user scope

subscribe user foo@bar.com –list list@domain.org

unsubscribe user foo@bar.com –list list@domain.org

Add/remove owners/moderators

These commands come under the list scope

add-owner list list@domain.org –user a@b.com

remove-owner list list@domain.org –user a@b.com

add-moderator list list@domain.org –user a@b.com

remove-moderator list list@domain.org –user a@b. <a@b.com>com

and a pair of commands to list the owners and moderators

show-moderators list list@domain.org

show-owners list list@domain.org

Edit/Set list settings

List preferences can be set or modified using

edit list list@domain.org –key KEY –value VALUE

Setting membership preferences

set preference –key KEY –value VALUE

Discussions on placing a domain attribute to this command have been done, but I doubt whether a decision was made. I list below a possible usage

set preference –key KEY --value VALUE [--global/--user USER /--address ADDRESS]

Describe instance

Describe instance can be used to display the details of an instance, like settings and preferences. This can be achieved by extending the show command of each instance, by passing a key to the specific instance, like

show list list@domain.org

show user foo@bar.com

show domain domain.org

The details available for the object user

addresses

created_on

display_name

preferences

self_link

subscribed lists, with role

user id

Details available for domain

base_url

contact_address

description

show lists

mail_host

url_host

Details available for object list

list_id

The above details can be displayed in groups, with appropriate group headings.

BTW,I have pushed the r57 that adds the unit tests for the lists. The unit tests for the users will be a part of the next revision, r58. Apart from that, I would like to add the describe instance, `subscribe/unsubscribe' features for the r58.
