[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: foundation-l is now wikimedia-l

[Erik Moeller]

Archives were broken for a few minutes. To avoid additional complex
surgery that would require list downtime, I'm just re-sending the
first few messages that got sent to the new list. Apologies for the
spam, this is only for posterity. ;-)

foundation-l is now wikimedia-l

Hi all,

as promised, foundation-l is now wikimedia-l. Hopefully all the list
settings should have survived without any difference whatsoever except
for the list names. Archives should exist in both places, and only at
the wikimedia-l location going forward. foundation-l delivery should
be disabled.

The wikimedia-l mailing list address is <wikimedia-l at lists.wikimedia.org>.

I'll update a few wiki pages now, and will send a separate not about
the list description to see if we can agree on some simple revisions
to clarify/broaden its scope. But that's a distinct change that would
need to achieve consensus here first.

Please update your filters and contact lists accordingly.

Thanks,

Does the announce list forward correctly?

I updated it earlier, so the reply-to should be correct.

And should its name also be changed?

Good one!

The "from" line still calls it the "Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List" :-)

Excellent, thanks Erik for getting this done! This will be a positive
change, I hope (archive-breaks aside).

Though I will have to get out of the habit of calling it f-l now, I
suppose...

best,
phoebe
