Another list for list-admins?

This list seems to be more of a technical list for people setting-up and maintaining Mailman. Is there some list where non-tech people like me could share simple ideas on how to get the most of Mailman's features?

For some of my work, please visit http://www.indialists.org

A number of our lists run on Mailman, a fantastic MLM software.

I'm pretty sure that there's no such list (specific to Mailman) yet, so I'm creating one.... it'll get its own domain name listowner.org and it'll have a policy that through the act of posting, contributions are placed under GNU Free Documentation License (so that it will possible to use posted texts e.g. in a "Mailman List-Owner's Manual").

Greetings, Norbert.

Great! I'd like to be part of that list. If I could help in any way (including volunteering time), let me know. _____ _ _ _ | ___| __ ___ __| | ___ _ __(_) ___| | __ Freelance Journo, Goa India | |_ | '__/ _ \/ _` |/ _ \ '__| |/ __| |/ / linuxinindia.pitas.com | _|| | | __/ (_| | __/ | | | (__| < www.bytesforall.org |_| |_| \___|\__,_|\___|_| |_|\___|_|\_\ opennews.indianissues.org -- Frederick Noronha * Freelance Journalist * Goa * India 832.409490 / 409783 Writing with a difference... on what makes *the* difference On Sat, 27 Apr 2002, Norbert Bollow wrote:

Excellent idea Norbert.

I can't speak for others but I'm certain a great many Mailman users must be in the same position as myself. My host runs and maintains Mailman. Hence most topics on this list tend to be inapplicable.

I had been hoping to see answers to questions such as:

Using the Mailman Web interface, all I and others have access to, how do we create a newsletter list i.e. I'm the only poster, everyone else being a recipient.
How can I apply strip mime selectively to my news group list? Other people with my host using Mailman want to retain the HTML feature.

My problem principally is that with our news group [separate from 1 above], many subscribers use their place of employment [work related topics] to receive email and, those work places complain loudly about receiving HTML mail and bounce it.

Personally, I think both of these items are on-topic for mailman-users.

The new list for Mailman listowners is available now at http://listowner.org/

This list is specifically for discussions from the perspective of listowners and moderators who do not have "shell access" to the mailing list server where the Mailman software runs.

Geek-style highly technical discussions are declared off-topic on listowner.org -- such discussions will be ruthlessly moved off to python.org ;-)

The list has a policy through which all postings are put under GNU Free Documentation License http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt so that they can be used to create a "ListOwner's Manual for GNU Mailman" and other interesting literature.

Greetings, Norbert.
