Lists for announcements and support

[Robert]

Hi,

after a discussion here [1] we now have two mailing lists.


# The Announce List

We can send announcements like appeals for donations or server
downtimes to the following address:
[hidden email]

All people that mailed to [hidden email] are subscribed to
this list. If anyone wants to subscribe this is possible via sending
email to <[hidden email]> or by
filling the following form:
https://systemausfall.org/admin/list-subscribe?list_address=foodcoops-announce@...

The list is moderated. If you want to become a moderator and remote
admin please send an email to the support list (see below). A test
email is enclosed below.


# The Support List

Users may send questions to the following address:
[hidden email]

We can redirect mails from [hidden email] to that address. On
answering we should always put the list address in CC, so that everyone
can follow the discussion. And be sure to answer the list *and* the
user.

If anyone wants to subscribe this is possible via sending
email to <[hidden email]> or by
filling the following form:
https://systemausfall.org/admin/list-subscribe?list_address=foodcoops-support@...

The list is open for public submission. If you want to become a remote
admin please send an email to the list.


I hope this will be a good communication infrastructure for users. We
might want to fine-tune some settings, let's discuss that on demand.

Regards, Robert

Thank you for setting this up.

I subscribed and want to get a moderator.

I did not find any web interface for the list to view the archive. Is there one? If not: IMHO this is deal breaker.

Management should be possible through email. I've asked Systemausfall
for an account, with that we should be able to get web management
access. I'll let you know if that works out.

Would be necessary, I agree. We can always add a nabble address and keep
an archive there (though we might just as well host the lists there -
for support that's not an option because each sender needs a unique
email address).

I added you to the list of moderators. You might want to try to send an
email to <[hidden email]> and
<[hidden email]>.

I activated the archive for the announce list. It should be availabe
via mail. AFAIK there is no web interface for the archive.

Sorry, if I missed something in the discussion of #11.

I chose systemausfall because it is a non commercial "service". There
might be people who don't like to give their address to commercial
services like nabble.

IMHO we should find an other provider in that case.

I personally would prefer to have only one provider, but see the “non-comercial service” as a valid point. E.g. riseup.net provides hosted Sympa.
