Mailing lists are administered with Mailman on the virtual host lists.osgeo.org. Physically this is the main Peer1 host (same as www.osgeo.org). Currently (Jan 2007) all administration is done by ShawnB, but ultimately SAC needs to be able to take care of them.
Notes for List Administrators
All lists
- Please set "A terse phrase identifying this list." to something brief and meaningful as this is what is shown on the main lists directory. It is on the General tab.
- Set "Who can view subscription list?" on the Privacy tab to "List Admin Only", otherwise anyone can subscribe and then harvest the mailing list.
- Ensure the "Prefix for subject line of list postings." on the General tab is set to something meaningful. If the list name is generic (such as "announce") it may be helpful to prefix it with OSGeo-, eg. "[OSGeo-Announce]"
Other options
- For announce lists (ie. moderated lists) turn on "Emergency moderation of all list traffic" on the General administrative tab.
