[Mailman-Developers] Wishlist items...

[Ted Cabeen]

Three wishlist items, one of which I've coded (but am not sure will work on 
CVS) and one I haven't.  I'd like to submit these to the bug tracking system, 
but there doesn't seem to be an email submit address.  Does anyone know what 
it is?
First:  Add an option in mm_cfg.py and Defaults.py to turn archiving on and 
off.  I like to be able to have archiving off for the majority of my mailing 
lists unless the owner explicitly wants it.  (I coded this one up in 5 
minutes, but I'm still on 1.1, so I don't know if it will port.  I'll send 
the diffs if anyone wants them)

Second:  Currently, the senddigests script sends a digest for every list that 
has digesting on and has any content to send.  However, this means that on a 
medium traffic list, it's possible to send out a digest of one message, if 
the digest size was reached two messages ago.  What I'd like to see is the 
digester only send out a time-based digest if no digest had been sent in some 
finite amount of time instead of every time the cron job is run.

Third:  Currently the digester never increments its volume number.  There is 
no code in Mailman to increase the volume number.  It it set to 1 in the 
InitVars function, and is never changed.  Volume incrementing should probably 
be an option on the digest page.  At the least, we should change the volume 
number yearly.

Thanks.
