Proposed mailing list name: centralnotice-admin-l Should be public Initial memebership: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=centralnoticeadmin -- I am happy to invite members individually. Adminship: IMO, the users listed above should all have list adminship, but I'm not familiar with practical issues around list management (like receiving extra spam?). In the last resort, please assign adminship to my work account, awight@wikimedia.org, and I will figure out what to do going forward. Purpose: Coordination between campaigns, and announcing new features or maintenance.
Proposed list name: centralnotice-admins
Need to announce the new list to wiki User accounts where email addresses aren't available. Announce on general lists if we agree that it should be public.
Hi Adam. List adminship is granted simply by giving someone the admin password for the list - they don't even need to have their email address added to the list owner box in Mailman, but we do like to make sure that there are at least a couple of people who receive emails intended for list owners. If the list is intended for announcing new features for the CN, perhaps just "CentralNotice" as a list name might be better as a generic list for all CentralNotice related discussion?
I've notified about this [[m:Talk:CentralNotice/Calendar]] and [[m:Talk:CentralNotice]]: doesn't harm. Now to minor things. :) (In reply to comment #0) > Purpose: Coordination between campaigns, and announcing new features or > maintenance. On the name: the two things are rather distinct; if it was more the former, it could be called e.g. wikimediameta-centralnotice (or live on existing very low traffic lists like fundraiser or wikimediameta-l); if the latter, you could even call it mediawiki-centralnotice. Just adding ideas, HTH.
Adam: you've assigned this bug to yourself, are you intending to create the list?

I would suggest adding all users that are listed here, too: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CentralNoticeLogs&offset=&limit=1000 > Adminship: IMO, the users listed above should all have list adminship, but > I'm > not familiar with practical issues around list management (like receiving > extra > spam?).

Adam, I've created the list centralnotice-admins and added your wikimedia.org email address as the list administrator. The random password for list admin will be sent there. You can distribute the list password to other folks. I wasn't sure if this should be able to join by anyone, so right now its set to confirm and approve. You can change that as needed in privacy options for list adminstration. List is created, resolving ticket.
