Description It's time a real listserv package came to Domino, maybe now is the time. LSD is coming. In Catalog
No


A full-function listserv hosted on Domino -- we're building it (slowly).

IMPORTANT: if you downloaded early code, would you mind downloading and installing the current version? The early versions sometimes email me because the very early versions had my addresses hard-coded into the agents as the Errors To address, which means when someone lights up the old versions of LSD, they phone home. While amusing to me, this probably isn't what you want!

Some fairly rough code is up there now, but it does, in fact, work, and is useful as a way for you to see what works and use it for simple lists. Currently the guts of the code work... users can subscribe to a single list, and an email sent to the address of that list (see also, "mail-in database" in your Admin book) will get echoed out to subscribers. The code supports list sigs and other stuff but presently does not support message digests.

Code is verified to work properly on all releases of Notes/Domino 8, up to the 8.00 gold release. It was mostly developed under beta versions of 8, but will work properly on any R6 or R7 server as well. Let me know if you find out otherwise.

Initially, the package will support the following features:

- Web-based subscription and management services
- Email-based subscription and management services
- nomail and suspend, both web and email based
- Subscriber approval
- Moderation options
- Archive management/searching/retrieval

Later on, or maybe not so later, we'll work on...

- Multiple lists per database
- Listop announcements to all subscribers

We probably won't try to take on spam-management except at a really basic level, like rejecting emails from nonlistmembers and lookup of subscriber addresses in PBLs. If you want more than that, there are plenty of spam-management tool vendors out there.

Volunteers to work on the code are always welcome.

Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
In addition to the owners additional OpenNTF contributors have to be listed here. Contributors don't have the same access rights as owners, e.g. they cannot create releases.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
A Catalog Release is for projects that are production ready and that are end-user "install friendly".

This property describes whether any release of this project has been added to the catalog.
