469817 - Turn on comments, spam filtering on blog.mozilla.com/security

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

A couple things:

1) I can do this myself with admin privileges, and please tell me if you'd prefer I do that instead of filing bugs. I just know that when IT manages something, they rarely like it to change underneath them, so I figured this was safer until you said otherwise.

2) I'd like to have comments enabled on the security blog, BUT

3) I'm hoping we have a good anti spam story, even if it's just Akismet.

4) The email address on the blog right now is Window's.  If comments go into moderation, it would be kind of nice if all the editors could be notified, so that I'm not the only one pruning them.  Is that a thing that wordpress can be persuaded to do?

I've turned on an anti-spam plugin and enabled comments.  There are plugins that allow for e-mailing multiple authors, but it might be easier just to send them to a list.  Do any of the security lists seem appropriate for receiving comments?

None of the current ones, unfortunately.  I'm talking to most of the editors later today, I'll ask whether they think it's worth creating one.

What's the word on creating a new list?
