Website. They also show on the listinfo page (lists.centos.org). How do people find out that the other mailing lists exist?
I have no idea how other people do stuff. Heck, I barely know how I do stuff myself :)
On another issue, as Karan suggested earlier, I would like to subscribe to the idea of having a unified set of moderation rules for all lists/channels, so it can help the moderators. Having several moderators means, usually, having several ways of dealing with the same issues. If we can have a CentOS-way of handling the lists, that would be a very good thing.
http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp/ListInfo/Policy - you are allowed to edit that page >:)
You ARE kidding, right ? I'm the one that will need a policy the most. I'm a very hardcore, dictator-like moderator; known to be so.
Some of the stuff people saw me write, more than one, on lists I moderate:
- - "My list, my rules" - - "You right to express yourself is subjected to my right to repress" - - "Since when is this a democracy ?"
which is all very well (and more than once welcome) on several places, but definitively not on a CentOS list. That is why, supposing I'll be moderating the pt_BR (or simply pt) list, I'll need the rules. Badly.
Gotta tell you the truth. I don't ENJOY being a moderator, taking responsibilities and all that. I do it because a lists needs a moderator, and even thou I don't enjoy it, I'm willing to, which is more than you can say for most subscribers :( I do, on the other hand, love a well organized and well moderated list. So I try to do my part.
But yes, I think that this is a very good idea. I myself am trying to "man" a german speaking list for CentOS.
Sounds like fun :)
