My suggestion is to put your resume in a common format; this company is not long for this world. ;-) More seriously (unless and until my speculation proves correct :-/ ) ... > I think they mean something a Microsoft (based) product can read > and import..... What do they want from the lists? If it's just full name and email address, then "bin/list_members --fullnames $LIST_NAME"[1] from the mailman directory will spew a list of lines of the form "First M. Last <in...@firm.tld>", which you can then run through "sed -e 's/ </,/' -e 's/>//'" or similar to get a CSV file that any program should be able to read. They also probably should be able to read the raw text output, since that's a standard format. You probably should grep for double quotes and commas in the original output before trusting that sed script, of course. If they want user config parameters (like "nomail" or "moderated"), that's a little harder. I don't think the list config parameters (which you get from bin/config_list) > 2) What's involved in migrating to a new version of Mailman? > > Grab the source and extract it, i.e. mailman-2.1.14, then read the > file named UPGRADING. Typically that's all you need to do. ISTR that in the case of 2.1.9 to 2.1.10 or later, there are a couple of parameters in mm_cfg.py which you should confirm are appropriate, and a couple more new ones in Defaults.py that you should consider customizing (by adding them to mm_cfg.py, of course). IIRC, I looked but didn't need to touch anything. And, of course, when in doubt, you know where to find us. :-) Footnotes: [1] Just bin/list_members gives you a usage message. You may be interested in the --output, --preserve, and --unicode options, depending on your needs and the configuration of your lists. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
