[Wikimedia-l] foundation-l is now wikimedia-l

Hi all,

as promised, foundation-l is now wikimedia-l. Hopefully all the list
settings should have survived without any difference whatsoever except
for the list names. Archives should exist in both places, and only at
the wikimedia-l location going forward. foundation-l delivery should
be disabled.

The wikimedia-l mailing list address is <wikimedia-l [at] lists>.

I'll update a few wiki pages now, and will send a separate not about
the list description to see if we can agree on some simple revisions
to clarify/broaden its scope. But that's a distinct change that would
need to achieve consensus here first.

Please update your filters and contact lists accordingly.

Thanks,
Erik

Does the announce list forward correctly?

I updated it earlier, so the reply-to should be correct.

Good one!

The "from" line still calls it the "Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List" :-)

Excellent, thanks Erik for getting this done! This will be a positive
change, I hope (archive-breaks aside).

Though I will have to get out of the habit of calling it f-l now, I suppose...

best,
phoebe

One more point: Your announcement has not yet appeared in the lists
archive at <http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2012-April/thread.html>.

Thanks for changing the list's name.

Regards,
Jürgen.

Does the old adress redirect to the new one?

Nope, you get a bounce back.

Currently the old list email address will bounce, and the old list URL
will give you a "foundation-l does not exist" message (whereas old
archive URLs will continue working).

Daniel's looking into having the old URL redirect to the new URL
(without overriding the archives) as a higher priority.

Archives should be fully working now.

The list URL should now redirect. [1]

And, Daniel just implemented an alias as well [1], which I'm testing
by responding using the foundation-l address. (I promise this'll be
the last meta note for a while if all's working!)

Thank you. It's worth noting on
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Standardization>, where
the mailman admins are/were setting up some conventions and defining a
bunch of lists to be renamed, which will include Wikimedia-l given the
-l suffix to be removed according to those standards.

Yeah, I'm aware of that page. I checked with Casey before going with
wikimedia-l. Given that the -l suffix is still in place with so many
lists, and given the pain involved in changing it, we agreed to keep
-l in place at least for root-level lists (project-level / meta-level,
like wikipedia-l, wikimedia-l and wikien-l), whereas new more
domain-specific lists are generally created without the -l suffix.
