Without additional fancy new integration features not yet available, can
Discourse just be made to work now as is on the same server as MM3?

If so, I will probably try it after I get my MM3 working.

Thanks.

[Mailman-Developers] Django

[Tom Browder]

Does anyone know if one can use one Django instance to serve multiple
virtual servers (servers are running under one Apache instance on one
reasonably powerful host)?

Thanks.

In my opinion, that link should replace ALL other links under the
Documentation menu at the top of the home page (www.list.org), and it
should clearly specify MM 3, something like:

  Documentation

Mailman 3 => http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/

I am ready (finally) to start new lists with MM 3 and that, I assume,
is where I should look.

[Mailman-Developers] MM 3: Virtual Environment Required?

[Tom Browder]

I want to install, and use, MM 3.  I'm on a single-user, Debian 7
server, and control the whole thing.

Is it important to use a virtual environment?  I'm sure I will be
updating from the development branch until the stable release, and I
am prepared to have interruptions in service along the way.

Note that I may eventually allow other users, but I will probably
remain the supreme administrator.

Thanks.

Great, the 'legacy-announce' style sounds like a 'read-only'/'news'
list!  I hope so because that's just what I'm looking for.

That's correct--the aliases are very confusing to me, but I apparently
have the right remote repo branched.

After I did a 'bzr pull' I got the proper revision.

I had done a 'bzr update' but got no response--hence my confusion
since I branched from the right place.

Now I see I am 'unbound', so I have executed 'bzr bind <...>' and can
now do 'bzr update' successfully and am at rev 7251.

I assume a 'checkout' instead of a 'branch' would have put me in the
same state as I am now.

Thanks, Mark.

We had a little discussion last year about list styles.  See this thread:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/msg13369.html

I think this GSoC project might be the place to at least start with
the option of choosing a list "style" such as a defined  "read-only"
mailing list.

Using the latest cli commands as shown in Rajeev's
/src/mailmanclient/cli/docs/using.txt would be for the "default" list
style:

  test_one = example.create_list('test-one')

Then, for other styles, we could use something like (pardon my pseudo code):

  test_one = example.create_list('test-one', style='read-only')

Looking briefly at the cli code I see nothing about the list
attributes Barry mentioned in last year's thread referenced above, so
I'm not sure how this would all fit together, but I think it needs to
be considered.

I hope this makes some sense from a very interested user.

I apologize for my confusion, but I'm not used to the bazaar model for
multiple developers.  I'm used to the svn model for C/C++ code where
we keep the trunk as the latest development version (but we keep the
trunk so it always builds without error).

If I want the latest development version of Mailman should I use the

I am in the process of moving to a new server and I have several MM 2
mailing lists working well with virtual hosts (for my high school and
college classmates).  The lists are of manageable size so I can afford
to do a fair amount of manual munging if need be and I want to convert
to MM 3 on the new server.

Also, nothing is absolutely critical archive-wise so I can be daring
in the conversion.  And, too, most users rely on MS Outlook and aren't
real familiar with e-mail list usage, so I  think I have an ideal
situation for taking notes on a real-world set up.

Are the steps needed listed somewhere?

[Mailman-Developers] Using Mailman scripts from cgi

[Tom Browder]

I'm probably going in the wrong direction, but I'm trying to create my
own page for subscribers on an Ubuntu server.

Before I get my cgi form working, I'm trying to use the command line
script "add_members" and can't get the right syntax for using stdin.
I've tried:

  $ ./add_member -r - listname j...@test.org

and

  $ ./add_member -r - listname < j...@test.org

but neither works.  I just get the command's help output.

I am in the bin dir with the script and I'm a member of the list group.

What am I doing wrong?

Ah, that's where it is!  (And I assume ALL "attributes" are defined
there.)  But to my non-Python eyes I see only one actually defined.

But there is where we could add some other mailman-defined styles, correct?

[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 3 and New Lists (Templates for Defining?)

[Tom Browder]

Earlier I was pointed to the REST API for programatically generating a
new list--looks good.  However, the docs mention a default set of
attributes for a new list and I wonder if there are yet any other
choices.

I guess the real question for me is:  is there a templating system in
MM 3 so that different list types can be defined?  My search through
the code so far hasn't found such except for language templates.

Having just agonizingly set up a true (IMHO) read-only list under
Mailman 2, I think such a template to choose (at least to start from)
would be very helpful in Mailman 3.  (I don't doubt there is an easier
way under Mailman 2, but I find the various inputs in the web
interface too scattered around for my tastes.)

Best regards,

Okay, I see most of the interface in the code here:

  
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/3.0/files/head:/src/mailman/rest/docs/

and I think I see how to hook into it and use with Perl LWP.

Is there any output format available other than json?

Best,

-Tom

Okay, great!

Right, that's what I do currently.  I develop the script locally, send
the script to the remote, server, ssh there and run the script as
root.

Thanks, Mark.

[Mailman-Developers] "newlist" command and Mailman 3

[Tom Browder]

I am using Mailman 2 for two virtual hosts.  With help from Mark
Sapiro I was able to get my lists up and running as I wanted.

I use "newlist" in a Perl wrapper to programmatically start and delete
mailing lists, and I would like to be able to do more
programmatically, such as:

  add moderators
  set default variables
  etc.

Is there any work being done in that direction?

Best regards,

-Tom
