Bug 353668 – re-activate the gentoo-guis mailing list

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) 2011-02-04 10:05:27 UTC]

Could you please re-activate the gentoo-guis mailing list.  We have a larger, active group again and a new gentoo-guis overlay.  It would be nice to have the list working again and put the list as the email for the overlay.

Also the list neither shows as inactive nor active, but archives still exist.

I've tried to bug araujo to get it re-activated, but he hasn't responded to that.

Thanks.

+1 from me.

Good work guys, let's revive this subproject.

Ok, the mail list is working.  Now it needs to be listed on http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml again.

Now I need to get someone to update that stale project page.  I think I have a {ahem}  "volunteer" to draft for that.

"re-activate" ? The list was never closed by infra.

gentoo-guis was never on the lists.xml page it seems, I checked all of the CVS history.
What list description should be present?

darside, I'll chalk it up to google spamming mjlm's replies and me missing them.  I nearly did again this last time.  I've found google sometimes has a time delay on spam before it shows.

As for the description...  how about:

Gentoo specific gius development, discussion and user support.


should be short enough, but still describe it :)

Also, related, the link to the project webpage is not there either. only way to find it is from google or the topic in #gentoo-guis

http://gentoo.org/proj/en/guis 

Possibly should be a subproject of desktop.

Thank you :)

Can you make this a new bug that isn't assigned to infra, or bug someone in #gentoo-desktop to get it done for you (alternatively get commit access yourself if you foresee more involvement ;) )
