Workflow question: when is https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/podlings.xml updated? If I can presume that it is updated before the mailing list is requested, then I can produce a dropdown list. >> Personally, I think it would be helpful for the list name field to be a >> select list for dev/user/commits/etc./Other.

And that's the point in the process where the tool is to provide feedback on the names chosen and approved? I see 10 current podling mailing lists with a -users suffix. I see 27 with -user. I also see lists with names like incubator-ooo-users-de. What's the problem being solved here? I also want to support the use case of ooo currently having 17 mailing lists and wanting to request an 18th. I also want to support the use case of somebody wanting to request the initial creation of mailing lists for a new podling, but to have a different set of moderators for commits than the other lists. >> The Moderators field should be wider, and it's pop-up text should explain >> the separators supported. > > No need for seps, because new fields are auto-generated. That was my thinking. One field = one email. Shane: can you try adding an email address to the form to see if this makes sense to you? It might also make sense for me to create three fields initially, and make the first three required. Thoughts? >> Is this in SVN so people can suggest specific patches, or not yet?
