List creation metadata

Initial subscriber set

This would be a meta-list across the developer lists of all JA-SIG projects.

Is approval required to join the list? If so, who are the list admins?

No individuals should join this list itself – membership is through membership in a particular project's developer list.

Who can post to the list?

Members of any JA-SIG project's developer list.

Is the list moderated?

Not until it needs to be.

Is the list archived? For how long? Are the archives public?

The list archives should be public and retained "forever".

Can subscribe requests be made via email? Do they require approval?

No individual can subscribe.

Should reply-to go to the poster or to the whole list?

Reply-to should go to the original poster to help people take care in what they send to this broad meta-list.

What is the description of the list?

Discussion of issues in developing JA-SIG projects that go beyond an individual project yet are specific to JA-SIG (rather than about Java programming generally).

Should the list name be pre-pended to the subject?

Yes, [jasig-dev] should be prepended to the subject.

Why do we need this list?

What would be discussed on this list

  • Developer resource outages (version control most notably, but Hypercontent as well)
  • JA-SIG version control practices
  • Procedures for posting JA-SIG project release binaries
  • Using Hypercontent to manage JA-SIG project web presences

There have been occasions in the past where announcements sent to jasig-dev have had to be echoed to cas-dev because jasig-dev is not in fact a cross-project developer list, it is as you rightly point out actually used as a uPortal developer list.

I wouldn't expect jasig-project-dev to be a high traffic list, but I think there are occasions where there's something to announce or discuss about developing JA-SIG projects.
