[Mailman-Developers] Ideas for injecting test messages

[Andrew Stuart]

Perhaps. I’m working close to full time on programming with Mailman and questions do come up.  I’ve had no previous experience of Mailman and for the most part I feel do all my own research and problem resolution.  I dig deep into the source and generally I think I ask questions when I’ve got to the bottom of the source code and still can’t understand why something is working in the way it does.

I know I’m more active on the list at the moment than anyone else.  However, this is the only case that I’m aware of that I’ve asked a question that some research on Google could have answered.

If you’d like less activity that’s OK I’ll take that on board.  This however is likely to be the outcome of Mailman 3 coming to completion with interfaces that others programmers can work with- active development along with lots of questions. The whole Mailman community is likely to become more noisy if you have succeeded in your goal of building something valuable, which I think is true.

I’ll take feedback from anyone on this - I don’t mind hearing what people think.  If you feel like you’d like the list to be less active from me that’s fine - if you think my questions lack research and effort that’s OK too.  Just let me know.

Hi Andrew,

I am not sure how do I put this, but I think you should spend little
more time investigating
about the questions you send in to this list. Questions and answers
seperated by a 3 hour
window makes me feel like its not even a question, but a personel log.
I agree mailman-devs
can answer your queries more quickly, but if you can find answers from
documentation then
there is no point in sending in these queries. It would be easier if
you collated your queries and
send-in one email in a day or two?

Also, I really appriciate the authentication proxy that you are trying
to build for mailman, please
don't take this as any form of discouragement. These are my personel
thoughts and in no way the
opinion of the whole mailman community.

If anyone feels this was totally unnecessary, please correct me.
