Re: [Mailman-Users] iOS app for moderation open sourced

2014-09-14 Thread Peter Shute
I hope someone does. I tried that one too, and found it unreliable in terms of 
not always showing all the messages available for moderation, and I suspect 
sometimes approving a different one to the one I selected.

There was apparently another app, iModerate by Manuel Weiel, but it's no longer 
available in the App Store because he's stopped paying the annual developer 
fee. This is something that's going to have to be done by anyone who takes on 
Mailman Moderator.

I assume these apps are aimed mainly at iPhone users because of the small 
screen. But even on an iPad I find it extremely frustrating because Safari and 
every other browser I've tried appear to close the app when it's been in the 
background for a while, which expires the login cookie, which means logging in 
again. IOS 6 didn't do this anywhere near as much as iOS 7. Perhaps iOS 8 will 
be better, or perhaps it will be even worse.

I couldn't get any browsers to remember the password either. It appears they 
need a username as well as a password to trigger the save prompt. My current 
solution is to use LastPass Tab as the browser. At least it offers a way to 
save the password, even if it is convoluted.

I wonder if a better way to make Mailman more accessible on either iphone or 
ipad would be to create a browser with password saving and just rearranging the 
existing pages with style sheets, it that's possible.

Unless the sender is using gmail and it decides to filter them out.

[Mailman-Users] Moderation notifications for the sender?

2014-09-14 Thread christian studer
Hello,

I'm unable to figure out if there's a configuration option to inform a
sender that a moderated message of him has been approved. Is this
functionality available in Mailman 2.1?

Thank you,
  christian

[Mailman-Users] iOS app for moderation open sourced

2014-09-14 Thread christian studer
Hello,

I'm maintaining and moderating a couple of Mailman lists and when I was
looking for an easy moderation tool, I've stumpled upon 'Mailman Moderator'
for iOS [1]. Unfortunately the app isn't quite stable [2] and the original
programmer isn't working on it anymore.

After exchanging a couple of mails, he agreed to open source it here (MIT
licensed):
  https://github.com/JanMisker/MailmanModerator-iOS

Maybe somebody else will pick it up and polish it a little.

With kind regards,
  christian

[1]: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailman-moderator/id349100180?ls=1&mt=8

[2]: It often crashes after moderation, no loading indicator, setup is
finicky (If you're not putting the base url exactly to
admindb/mailinglistname, it fails), the icon could be nicer.
