[Mailman-Users] finding the options and so on
I've noticed that a fair number of the questions and answers on this list follow the pattern Q: How do I do X? A: Look in Q: Aha! Thanks, I didn't know it was there. And as an owner of a number of lists, though not a sysadmin, I've fairly often had the experience of "Now, where the heck was that feature the last time I used it? ... Not there... it's not there either... OK, let's go through the option pages one by one. ... ... ... Oh, THERE you are, you little devil!" One way to solve this problem would be an index. Another would be a wiki. What do other listmembers think? -- Mark A.
