Details

Please create a new group called "mozilla.drumbeat" and, once it's created fully, migrate the mail subscription list across from mozilla.community.drumbeat. After a few days when we encourage people to move, we will delete the mozilla.community.drumbeat group. (Unless there's a better migration path?) Gerv
shyam: do you have an ETA for this? :-) Gerv
Gerv, Apologies :D Kinda fell through the cracks. Would you like to move the mailing list as well or just the Newsgroup?
Oh, fail. I'll get right on it :)
The whole thing, of course :-) Gerv
Yeah, kinda didn't read the first comment properly before asking :D I'm waiting on Dave for a better suggestion (if any) else we're going with your plan. I'll keep you posted.
Alright, drumbeat mailing list created with the same owners as community-drumbeat. Email sent to Giganews. Once the group is done, I'll update the bug. One of the list owners can move people over or I guess I could too, if they find it too complex to do so themselves.

Gerv, so can you guys move over the subscribers?
Shyam: I don't seem to have access to the listinfo subscriber list. Isn't it a simple python command using the mailman command line interface if you have shell access? Couldn't you do it? :-) Or are you actually asking "Please can you post to the group and ask everyone to move over manually?"? Gerv
Gerv, It was more of do you want me to move everyone over now or do you want to send an email out or something first :) I'll gladly move everyone over, not sure if you guys want to send them a notice that we're doing it or something similar. Also, should I ask mailman to send an email during the move or just keep it quiet?
Gerv, ping?
Shyam: I've posted a message to the group telling people what's going on. Please feel free to move mailing list subscribers across automatically and silently. In a few weeks, we will delete the old group. Gerv
OK, wait. Put this on hold for a minute! Gerv
Reopen when you're ready to move.
