Affinity Mailman has reached beta status

by Brian Carpenter

Dear Mailman Developers Affinity Mailman is our new admin interface for Mailman 3 and we intend to use it to replace Postorius. It has been under development for about 3 months now and it recently reached beta. Calling For Beta Testers Now that Affinity is in beta, we are looking for list admins to help us beta test it. We are interested in getting some feedback and feature requests from beta users. If you are interested in helping us test out Affinity and get a sneak peek of the future of Mailman administration, then email me at brian_carpenter(a)emwd.com <mailto:brian_carpenter@emwd.com?subject=Affinity%20Beta&body=I%20am%20interested%20in%20Beta%20Testing%20Affinity> and I will begin the process of setting you up with an Affinity Mailman admin account and provide 2 test lists to use for beta testing purposes. While I am at it: Empathy Is Now Under Development "So what in the world is Empathy? I mean really - first Affinity and now Empathy?" That is correct. We figured if we are going to replace the default admin UI (Postorius) for Mailman 3, we might as well replace the default forum/archive UI (Hyperkitty) for Mailman 3. With Empathy, we are bringing a beautiful and user-friendly experience for those who wish to use Mailman 3 as a modern forum. We want Empathy to bring a true community like approach to the use of Mailman 3 via a browser. It will supplement the mailing list feature of Mailman 3 with an easy to use online forum. So Mailman 3 users will get the best of both worlds: a modern mailing list app AND a modern forum app. Empathy can also be used to display your list threads (archives) in an easy-to-read manner, and those threads can be categorized by tags and will be searchable. -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.

I will be posting screen shots via this thread as more progress is made. Brian

Just to be clear, Brian has the full support of the GNU Mailman project in his endeavor to create a new web UI for Mailman 3, but "our" above means Brian and EMWD, not the GNU Mailman project. We of the GNU Mailman project are delighted that Brian is working on an alternative web UI, but we have no plan to abandon Postorius and HyperKitty. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Mailman 2 was always delivered at that time and our members who subscribe to the digest build their morning time around it. Right now, since merging MM2 to MM3, the digest is delivered at 12:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m ET). > > Not sure if building a timer-type feature into the source code is the way to go, or if this is an Affinity thing. It is an EMWD thing. Periodic digests are sent for all lists in the installation by a cron. Apparently EMWD's crontab for mailman contains entries like ``` # send digests for MM 2.1 0 12 * * * $PYTHON -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/senddigests # send digests for MM 3 30 3 * * * /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman digests --periodic ``` This is a Mailman core function that has nothing to do with Affinity. You can ask EMWD to change the time that MM 3 digests are sent, but since it affects digests for all lists, they may not want to do that. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Re: New Admin Interface for Mailman 3

Hello Brian, Bravo. I applaud this initiative. Not that you may be concerned, perhaps, but Affinity is the name of a very popular and excellent Photoshop alternative. They obviously don't own the name, but you are always going to sort well below them in terms of SEO and so on. All the best for this great idea.

Linking Affinity with Mailman should produce the results I need. Thanks for the heads up though! Brian

Digest delivery timing

by jan＠janalexander.ca

Hi, We're new to Mailman 3 and are using EMWD's Affinity web interface. We want/need the Digest (Plain or MIME) to be delivered at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time to our members. Mailman 2 was always delivered at that time and our members who subscribe to the digest build their morning time around it. Right now, since merging MM2 to MM3, the digest is delivered at 12:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m ET). Not sure if building a timer-type feature into the source code is the way to go, or if this is an Affinity thing. Do tell? Thanks, Cathryn

Disable Postorius

by Brian Carpenter

In our development work of Affinity, we are testing out the use of Hyperkitty. HK requires gunicorn but we can't get gunicorn to start because it is looking for a module name Postorius. I have Postorius commented out in settings_local.py and settings.py. Gunicorn still won't start. How can we start gunicorn without the need for having Postorius installed? -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.
