Jay has "comments"), but I do not want it hanging around in my source tree. Here is my mail message: * The "My Mailing Lists" is context sensitive (copied from Tim's changes to the My Bug Databases). It takes you to the *archives* for the current project (or subgroup) list. Or it takes you to your first joined project. * The showproject and showgroup pages have direct links to the project and group specific archives. If you are in reddot mode, you also get a link to the admin page for the list. Note that project and group leaders are just plain members of these lists. * The interface to create a new "user" list is: https://www.emulab.net/dev/stoller/newmmlist.php3 We do not store the password, but just fire it over in the list creation process. Anyone can create their own mailing lists. They are not associated with projects, but just the person creating the list. That person is the list administrator and is given permission to access the configuration page. This page is not hooked in yet; not sure where. * Once you have your own lists, you user profile page includes a link in the sub menu: Show Mailman Lists. From this page you can delete lists, zap to the admin page, or change the admin password (which is really just a subpage of the admin page). * As usual, in reddot mode you can mess with anyone else's mailman lists, (via the magic of mailman cookies). * Note on cross machine login. The mailman stuff has a really easy way to generate the right kind of cookie to give users access. You can generate a cookie to give user access, or to the admin interface for a list (a different cookie). Behind the scenes, I ssh over and get the cookie, and set it in the user's browser from boss. When the browser is redirected over to ops, that cookie goes along and gives the user the requested access. No passwords need be sent around, since we do the authentication ourselves.
