Mailing list for African Wikimedia Developers
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Name of the Mailing list: african-wikimedia-developers@lists.wikimedia.org

Description: This mailing list will empower Wikimedia volunteer developers from all over Africa. It will be a step in starting a community of African developers and gradually growing an interest for Wikimedia related tech issues that pertain to the continent and the chance to tackle some movement objectives in the developer community in the movement. Here, communications about activities of Wikimedia developers in the Foundation will be shared etc... A ticket has been created for the execution of this project and here is the link. The project has been endorsed by some members of the Foundation and the mailing list is a step forward. We hope to have it so that communications can start ASAP. Thanks.

Event Timeline

xSavitar updated the task description. (Show Details)

Followup questions for initial list configuration:

  • You would like 'alangiderick@gmail.com' as the primary list admin, but should flixtey@gmail.com be a moderator, or another administrator?
  • With no mention of the list settings, I'm assuming public list, public join, and public archives. Is this correct?

Other than that, this seems to have more than enough info (including the link to T156153 which has all the background info justifying the list creation.) Once I know the above two settings questions, I can create the list for you.

Please advise,

Yes, flixtey@gmail.com should be another administrator. From this point, we could add more emails with different credentials ourself.

  • With no mention of the list settings, I'm assuming public list, public join, and public archives. Is this correct?

Yes you are correct. It should be public. But if we see a need to make the list private, we would let you know but its public now. Thanks

List has been created with initial settings outlined in the task above. I set it to auto-generate a list admin password which it emailed to alangiderick@gmail.com.

I'm resolving this task, but if there are any issues, feel free to reopen.

Thanks for the creation of the list.
