So we just need to make sure that this mail contains text that says something like Consider announcing the availability of your new list to the wider KDE community by posting an introduction to kde-community@kde.org Just to clarify: that is the case that I was trying to write about, in my previous email. There is the possiblity in there to be missed. If it is automated and it is generated automatically in the same step, there cannot be such a miss occurring. Even if it is not missed, it is still manual work to be done rather than done automatically. Having said that, as long as I am not involved (which is likely the case as it currently seems), either works for me. ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
Re: [kde-community] Your KDE highlight of 2014?
Hi Lydia and everyone! For me the best KDE moment this year was my first meeting with the KDE devs in january in Barcelona. It blew my mind (and I still think that for Promo material 2015 we should focus on the devs as people a lot more). I prepared for what I imagined was sitting in a corner doodling and a lot of people programming and doing C++ jokes or something. Nothing could be further from the truth - inclusive, kind, never condescending and charming. So many ideas - so much stuff we have to do that will make KDE even more brilliant. My second-but-close was Akademy. Meeting brilliant people, talking to the other people in VDG (which was scary and cool) like Andrew and Thomas ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community

Do you think it'd be a good idea to ask sysadmins to send an email to this list every time a new public mailing list is created?

We're the only ones who know about every list that is created yes. However those requesting the new list will certainly be aware of it have being created. While we do request a description, sometimes people may want to provide additional details on what the list is intended for. They can provide additional information if they want after the automated email. Otherwise i'm pretty sure people are not going to send emails even if we tell them, but oh well, if we can't agree on automated emails i'll accept compromise on Kevin's suggestion.
