[Wikimediaindia-l] Request for a new list

2011-06-19 Thread Ashwin Baindur
Hi, I'm user:AshLin, co-chair of the Working Group for a forthcoming Wiki-conference in India in November 2011. I'm writing formally to you to request for a list for that event; a request which you may have already received informally from Shiju Alex. The event will definitely be taking place on

I believe you need to file a bug for this Ashwin. If you want, I can file it for you and get someone to close the request. Are you sure about the title? I would suggest something like WikiIndia-events or Wikimediaindia-events list. So that it doesn't become useless after the event and can be re-us

Hi Salmaan, Thanks for the offer! Shiju is just waiting for a reply from Casey Browne before we file the bug. Since we have formally asked, it would be appropriate to wait for a while for the response. As regards the name, there are now a large amount of activities, lists etc communities, meet-up

I agree with Ashwin, I doubt it would make sense to form a list for only this year/event. it's the same way for other activities, those lists have to be used again. Salmaan On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 10:07 PM, Ashwin Baindur wrote: > No, since we shall know which Conference we are planning for! :)

So are we going to use the same list name for every year? That would lead to a bit of confusion isn't, when the same list name is used year after year. Different list for each year would also make it easy in archiving isn't? Abhi On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 9:51 PM, Ashwin Baindur wrote: > On the c

Ashwin, How about when the conference get arranged next year. You cannot still use the same list name, as that would not help in distinctiveness. May be we should think about adding the year as well (in full eg:2011 instead of 11). Abhi On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 6:37 PM, Theo10011 wrote: > Thanks

The subject headers added in every mail by mailman can be changed as per need to reflect the relevant year/conference name. Creating a new list everytime will be a pain. -Sudhanwa On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 9:57 PM, Abhilash S Unni wrote: > So are we going to use the same list name for every year?

We were told that only a Google group was possible but since we could get that from the web itself and since Google can change its policies, the consensus was to go for a mailman list on Wikimedia server due to its permanency. However, if mailman program can be put in place on the Wikimedia.in ser
