New subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Using Wikimedia Mailing lists

2 Oct 2011

Changed the Subject line.

Arjuna and I were discussing the below issue that Beria pointed out.

But as Arjuna said, some of the important features like searchability of
archives, stats, and so on  are missing in the mail man. As per my
understanding this is one of the reason given by Telugu and Marathi wiki
communities for not moving to Wikimedia list. I am just wondering whether it
is possible to include these features in mail man. At least the search
option which is very vital for groups is a must for wikimedia lists.

 Why isn't a "normal" mailing list? Create a bug for it (here are three
 examples: creation of
Wikiconference-india<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2948…87>,
 creation of Wikimedia-blr<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24454>and
creation
 of wikiml-l <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15012>)

 Arjuna, This is already done. The mail is sent to various Indic language
 lists also.

 Sorry, I did not notice it. BTW, Telugu wikipedia  team  uses 
teluguwiki(a)googlegroups.com.

 Cheers

 Nice to see the detailed approach.
 I will suggest forwarding to respective language wiki mailing list, in
 addition to city mailing lists to reach the target audience.
