Misc #13329: Creating a German ruby mailinglist on ruby-lang.org?

Hi everyone,

I have emailed [e-mail] and opened a ticket on the website's GitHub repo without a reply, so I'll try it here again. The main German Ruby forum goes out of service due to lack of someone willing to do the maintenance administration and we're discussing switching to a mailinglist which causes much less maintenance effort than a phpBB forum or generally any web forum software. There are ruby-talk, ruby-list, and ruby-fr (amongst others) hosted on ruby-lang.org already, so I think it is natural to ask whether it's possible to add a ruby-de list to ruby-lang.org and give the configuration privileges to the existing moderators of the German ruby forum (FYI, I am one of them).

Since the concern has been voiced whether it's likely to get a spam problem, I'd like to ask whether anti-spam efforts are made for the lists on ruby-lang.org. As a subscriber of Ruby-Talk I have rarely seen spam on the list, but it is good to know anyway.

I have been told that the mailinglist infrastructure falls into shugo's responsibility, so I assign this ticket to him.

Any reply, positive or negative, is appreciated.

I'm ready to help out managing the new list if this helps with it's creation.

The existence of ruby-fr is an interesting precedent, but I'd like to note that http://lists.ruby-lang.org/pipermail/ruby-fr/ says: "No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are currently empty.".

I would appreciate it if there could at least be an indication as to whether this is possible or not. Because otherwise we're going to use a different mailinglist host (which I would find unfitting, but we need to go forward at some point).

Thank you Martin for your offer. You might want to participate in the discussion on the forum and re-post it there so everyone sees it.

Great! Thank you very much!

Can you give the address list for initial members?

I have just sent you a list of the current moderators of the German Ruby forum with email addresses. These people should receive configuration/moderation access on the new list.

Again, thank you!
Marvin

What's the current status? Can you give an ETA as to when you are able to create the list?

I had no time to create this list last week. Please wait a few days.
