Admin: New list setup



*** ACTIVE IMMEDIATELY ***

Good evening, List.

This is the description of the new setup of Linux-IL.

ALPHA -- Listar
=====

Linux-IL mailing list is migrating to Listar.  The instructions
on how to use Listar will be posted in a separate message.

BETA -- Linux-IL setup
====

One
~~~

The list will be closed for non-subscribers.  When a
non-subscriber posts a message to the list, two things will
happen:

	1. The moderator (currently, me) will get an automatic
	   approval request, and if he considers the message
	   appropriate, he will approve it (I try to read my mail
	   at least once in 24 hours).

	2. The poster will receive a message describing how to
	   subscribe to the list, and how to post and receive
	   mail using different addresses.

Two
~~~

The subscribers will be able to receive a digested version of
this list, INSTEAD or WITH the normal version, at their own
choice.  The digests will be mailed nightly, a little after
3:10AM local (Israeli) time (IST/IDT).

Three
~~~~~

The posts will currently not be limited in size.

GAMMA -- Sibling lists
=====

One
~~~

A moderated announce list Linux-IL-Announce will be set up.  All
subscribers of Linux-IL will receive mail from Linux-IL-Announce,
so there won't be a need to subscribe to this list.  However,
there is a possibility to subscribe to Linux-IL-Announce without
subscribing to Linux-IL.

Two
~~~

Linux-For-Newbies and Linux-IL-Hebrew won't be set up now.

DELTA -- Moderation
=====

Corrently, we will have only one moderator for Linux-IL (for
non-subscriber postings) and Linux-IL-Announce.  If the need
arises, more moderators will materialize from the air.

Vadik.
