GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 627657
set description fields for all mailing lists
Last modified: 2010-10-04 14:40:36 UTC
contact existing list administrators for all lists without a list description and request they define the field. There are about a dozen lists without descriptions. For consistency and clarity for users, this should be fixed. Perhaps add 'list description' as a required field for creation of a new list..
Hello, In an attempt to clean up and standardize the mailing lists hosted at lists.gnome.org I am contacting you regarding the missing description field on your mailing list(s). We would like to ensure that each list has a proper, clear description to make it easier for users and developers to find the list(s) they need. I am contacting you because you are listed as the current maintainer of such a list. If you could please see the instructions on this page[1] under the heading "Things to do by the requester after the list has been created", primarily configuring a proper list description, we would very much appreciate it. If you are unsure which list(s) I am referring to, please let me know. (To save keystrokes and sanity I am sending this via mass-bcc.) Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Christer Edwards GNOME Sysadmin Team [1] http://live.gnome.org/action/login/NewListRequest

tomboy-list is unused, our list is hosted elsewhere and we eventually decided not to migrate. Do with it as you will.
I will delete the tomboy-list. Archives (what little there are) will be moved to the list archive page, under "Obsolete".
tomboy-list removed (see above). gnome-chicago-list removed. gnome-press-team updated.
gnome-press-team completed.
gnome-hispano-board-list completed.
All lists are done.
