Good idea!

Heh, sure. Will set that up soon (once Xmas dinner etc is over).

All that's needed for the gateway is a copy of bzero. Install, create
a new blog on pycs.net (tell me the usernum and I'll make it
pycs.net/users or something), and call bzero postmsg with each message
as it arrives. Here's the Python code I use to do it for this list:
open( '/tmp/pycs-devel.msg.tmp', 'w' ).write( msgtext )
os.system( 'bz postmsg pycs-devel-archive /tmp/pycs-devel.msg.tmp' )
os.system( 'bz send pycs-devel-archive' )

Yup - Merry Christmas to everyone!

Hi!
Just thought about it, I think we should have them. Phil: with your
mailing-list-to-blog gateway and a patched comments.py that gates
comments back to the mailing list, we should be able to get the dual
feed technology that radio has with only minor hassles. I think it would
be good to have them both and to change the defaults in xmlStorageSystem
to our own lists.
So my proposal would be to set up pycs-users as a mailing list, gate
that into a blog and gate comments back into the list. And maybe we
could set up two of them, so we can have one in english and one in
german? ;-)
Or tell me what is needed for the gateway stuff, and I set them up at my
system (list software is already available, so it wouldn't be a problem
to run it). But I think we should get users to ask on our own forum
first, as that would enable us to filter out stuff that's more a pycs
problem than a rcs/radio problem. We can still point them over to the
radio list if we think it's something we can't handle/solve.
Oh, and a merry christmas to all here on the list!
bye, Georg
