Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSOC Project Discussion

Varun,
It is easy to say "He will receive an email about the tasks done in his absence". However, how do you propose to compose that email? Where and how is the information used to construct the email stored while the moderator is on vacation. If on a queue, which queue? ... etc.
You seem to imply that each individual has a ToDo list of tasks. If that is the case, in the normal course of business, how will you handle the situation when there are two or more moderators and one of them processes a request.

Hi Richard,
Currently i have no idea how to implement getting content for tasks done in the absence of a moderator in the core but i am working on understanding core in detail. I found it as an interesting feature, so i suggested it. However it can be skipped also as it is only an add-on feature to vacation suspension.
What i have interpreted from ToDo list is that it is a common task queue for every user with same role and will get cleaned up as soon as one of the user with sane role completes the work given in his ToDo list. eg: For a new add user request, if one of the moderator accepts/declines it,then it will get cleaned up from other moderators' ToDo list also.
However what i have proposed for core is without knowing the actual implementation of core, so i may have proposed some silly/impossible features for "vacation suspension". Please let me know if there are any.
Thanks Varun

In both MM2 and MM3 today, there is only one queue for the entire mailing list. Individual moderators don't have individual request (to-do) queues. I don't currently see a use case for changing that, and as you've observed, there are problems if we do.
