Most people don't care about options. On my site I have tried to streamline the registration process: there is a popup window where you can type in your email, and sub/unsub (whether you are or not already subscribed). See for instance http://listes.rezo.net/popup/ (click on the first link). But the second most important place for usability is the welcome message, which is loaded with options and jargon. I have replaced it with (in French): <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ---------------------------------------------------------- %(welcome)s Votre adresse est inscrite sur la liste %(real_name)[EMAIL PROTECTED](host_name)s Merci. ---------------------------------------------------------- Pour vous désabonner, une page vous est réservée %(optionsurl)s %(umbrella)s Ce mot de passe empêchera quiconque de vous désabonner contre votre gré : %(password)s. Autres informations sur la liste %(real_name)s : %(listinfo_url)s >>>>>>>>>>>> But I still find it too complex; we should get rid of the password thing. People just nedd to know where they can see more options. As for the web interface, from what I've seen I think GoogleGroups has got the slickest interface for the moment. -- Fil _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
