OK, I'm at the point where I can create mailing lists manually. I used this as a very rough guide. I will document exactly how I did everything.
Right now, I can only create lists from the command-line. (Once the list is created, everything else is accessible from a web page). At some point, we should write an admin-accessible page to create and delete mailing lists, but I don't know how that should be prioritized.
Pretty low, in my opinion. I was creating them myself anyway, although not from the command line.
Good onya!
I think the only remaining "back to normal" task is setting up an ftp account that has access to the archives subdirectory of this domain.
And then we should be good -- anyone remember anything I forgot?
Does someone have the information about the mailing lists that were before the move?
I asked all the list admins to record that info, so hopefully there won't be much to be pulled from the ether.
Other than that, though, the entire zipped site is in the root user directory on this here server, so the mailman config info is there too.
I've got all the information from the Somervillains list. There were also lists for LA, NYC, and Balt.-DC that I recall. I'm sure there were a couple more.
There was exactly one person other than me on the Seattle list--we started having our issues, so I didn't pimp it.
Is it "somervillians@buffistas.org" or "somervillains@buffistas.org", DX?
Do you use the list to plot crime?
It's somervillains@buffistas.org. Yes, Tom, we do plot crime.
Cool!
