Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: Moderation policy on WikimediaIndia-l

why Praveen's message does not appear in the archive for WikimediaIndia-l, even though messages subsequent to it - like mine - do? Praveen's mail is there in the archive. Even though we all have received Praveen's reply *only today*, it is archived as the mail of 2011 Feb 8 (the actual date on which that mail was sent). I assume even if some one's mail is moderated it will be archived as the mail of the original date.

Best, Achal -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Moderation policy on WikimediaIndia-l Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:14:50 +0530 From: Achal Prabhala &lt;aprabhala(a)gmail.com <mailto:aprabhala@gmail.com>> To: Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia. &lt;wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>> Dear Hari and Anirudh, As moderators of WikimediaIndia-l, could you describe the policy you normally adopt towards moderation? Do you only block obvious spam or other messages, and if so on what basis? I am naturally curious since a message from Praveen that you only just released seems to have been sent in 3 days ago. Furthermore, I think we'd benefit from understanding how people may apply to become administrators on this list. In light of Anirudh's recent appointment to administrator of this list, is there an open process by which other members might apply? (Foundation-l seems to have three administrators, though I would imagine that there is nothing stopping WikimediaIndia-l from having more than three). Please note that I don't ask with persecutory intent, but merely to clear gaps in my own understanding, which might be a problem that other people on this list face as well. Since WikimediaIndia-l is such an important place for all kinds of conversations that cut across the movement in India, it's in all our interests to know exactly how it is managed.
