[Qgis-psc] Fwd: Re: [SAC] instruction to STOP a mailing list

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi PSC,

I've been asked by the OSGEO SAC what we want to do with the mailing
list archive(s).

I only asked for removal of UX-mailing list, of which the archive really
is small and does not contain any valuable info...

But now we also have removed the Education and Release lists, and I'm
not sure if there is anything of value in those archives...

Personally I would go for full cleanup: remove both lists + archives...

Ok? Keeping the archives is an option too, but as (I think) there is not
much valuable info in it, I would just remove all.

Regards,

Richard

Hi Sandro, Richard

Back from holidays sorry for the delay :-)


Richard, what you want to do with the list? You want to set it up to not
receive more mails and maybe set up some descriptive response when
rejecting mails to redirect users to any other mailing list? or simply
remove the list from the server along with all the archives etc?

We usually deal with this tasks using our Trac https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/

    I found some info on the wiki page for _removing_ a list:
    http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists#System_Tasks
    <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists#System_Tasks>

    Is that what you want to do ?

    The page mentions Frank and Alan are the master mailman
    administrators, so I'm adding them in Cc.
