Mailing list footers?
Hi,
There were some discussions recently about adding an automatic footer
to all Flex mailing list messages.
I suggest adding just this:
--
See http://incubator.apache.org/flex/mailing-lists.html for information
about this mailing list, including subscribe/unsubscribe instructions
And we can then flesh out the mailing-lists.html page as required.
If people agree, I'll create an infra JIRA issue to have this configured.
-Bertrand

The one in Paul's email is fine with me. The first link is for people that
want to help with the project and don't know where to get started, not
necessarily for people who don't know what Flex is. We want to be helpful
to new comers in this way (search for "want to help" or "how to get
started" in the mailing list archives).
In another way these links are also for *us* to get to the other areas of
the project we use most. These are more valuable when you are working on
multiple devices, which many of do, and don't have all the project links
bookmarked on them.

What is the purpose of the first link? Somebody that has no idea what Flex
is, stumbles across the mailing list archives, his only way forward is via
that link, he follows it and becomes an avid Flex developer? Sounds a bit
far-fetched. In reality such a person would just google "Flex". The second
link is important though.

I think this is way too many links. We should minimize this to 1 or 2 at
max, last thing I want to see is 10 lines of links for every 1 line answer

Although, I suggest we replace these long urls with the short and sweet

Re: Mailing list footers?
Posted by jude <fl...@gmail.com>.
That's a standard footer size in most mailing lists (ie all adobe mailing
lists). I think if we decide to point to one page then we need that one
page to point to the pages we're taking out of the footer.
BTW There's no link to JIRA in our navigation links or a link to the
awesome FAQ page I started. Also, it's not clear how or where to search the
mailing list (although I know where it is now it was difficult to find - I
searched for the search page :P). Bertrand, if it's agreeable to add these
links and content, is this something that you would add?
I recommend these links be added until the other information is sorted out
and updated with the information that would be trimmed out.

I do think Betrand's suggestion in the original post would cover everything without being too intrusive. I think most of the other items suggested could/should/do probably live on that page, or be links from that page. I'd prefer to trim the text down though and simply include the link:

Can we limit the footer to 2 or 3 items at most?
Or it's going to be longer than a lot of the messages.
I'd go one further and request that we leave it as is, ie with no email
footer. I really would prefer that we didn't have ten lines of noise at the
end of every single email.

Can we have a script running that can insert our footer for us as well as some dynamically generated output, like:
- most active threads
- current votes and lazies
- newest threads

Sounds good to me, and like someone else mentioned, maybe mention a
faq, or have a single page that encompasses it all. Maybe just as part
of the sentence "for information..." include "...including faq"
Hope that makes sense. But I definitely wouldn't take a ton of time on this.

My suggestion:
"See http://incubator.apache.org/flex/faq.html for frequently asked
questions (including subscribe/unsubscribe instructions)"
I am in favor of creating a wiki page with a more generic faq (not the
developer-faqs.html) with those recurring questions that we often see in
the ML (how do I unsubscribe? where is the roadmap? how do I
contribute? will flash player be open-sourced? will flex cross-compile

you European crysis :|)).
