So we are going for "Webmaker" rather than "Webmakers"?

Do you envisage there only ever being one list? If so, mozilla.webmaker seems to be the obvious choice (list name: [e-mail]).

* "Webmaker" over "Webmakers," yes.
* [e-mail] sounds great. 
(I just included "Mozilla" at the front because the form told me to :)

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

The newsgroup and Google Groups versions have a prepended "mozilla.", but the mailing list name removes it (it's already in the domain name; another "mozilla" would be redundant).

Over to server-ops for creation of mozilla.webmaker.

List created, waiting for GigaNews and Google Groups...

[Matt Thompson]

Could I possibly get a status update on this?
Are we still waiting for GigaNews and GG?
Thanks!

Matt,

Giganews added this as expected (subscription directly to news.mozilla.org nntp works), but Google Groups doesn't seem to have picked it up yet:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/mozilla.webmaker

I'll email the admins to see if this can get poked and/or prodded.

Thanks Michael! Much appreciated.

[Sid Stamm [:geekboy or :sstamm]]

I'm having the same problem with google groups and mozilla.dev.privacy (bug 735813).  Perhaps this is systemic?

[Dumitru Gherman [:dumitru]]

We are waiting on Google.
They are working on re-writing the groups intake process and it is a very slow and manual labor for them.
We have no ETA from them when certain groups will show up online. Just keep checking.

Ok, thanks Dumitru!
We're launching our new Webmaker site June 6. Code freeze June 1. 
So hoping to have the new triple ready by then. Fingers crossed.

Any status updates here? Google still not co-operating?

Comment 15

[Ben Simon]

Dumitru  or Michael -- anyone in Google we could specifically ping on this? Have inroads there, but want to know where to direct the prod.

thanks!

[Dumitru Gherman [:dumitru]]

From Google, it was Andrew Shebanow who replied last time.

Comment 17

[Matt Thompson]

* Thanks for all your help with this everyone
* In the meantime while we're waiting on Google, can we just get people to sign up to the Mozilla hosted mailman version? That already exists right?

Comment 18

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Yes. If people want to subscribe via email, that's the preferred route anyway.

These users are set as admins. Let me know if I should set a new password and share it with all three of you, or if you will be sharing the existing password.
