#176 New mailing list request: fedora-fonts-list
Closed: Fixed None Opened 16 years ago by nim.

I'd like a Fonts SIG ML created to serve as SIG coordination point and to be CCed on bugs in Fedora fonts packages

The list would be named fedora-fonts and follow all the conventions of fedora-devel


Assigning to mmcgrath as he seems to be the ML god.

Additionnal info

Name: fedora-fonts-list (or whatever you feel is more consistent with existing list)

Admin: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net

Description: Discussion of fonts and other Fedora text rendering components. Coordination channel for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts

Also I'd appreciate :

  1. help producing a list of the mails of every maintainer or co-maintainer of a font package in Fedora (+EPEL, +OLPC) so I can send a "shop open" message and invite them to subscribe to this list

  2. help having this list CC-ed on every new font package bug (+ bugs on strategic components like fontconfig, freetype, fontforge and pango) like the perl sig does for perl packages

Right now font discussions are spread over many lists and trying to coordinate them is a major chore

Request submitted.

Regarding 1) your best bet is to use --changelog and harvest the emails there. Regarding 2) you might be better off sending an announcement.

I queried the packagedb to generate a list for #1 and sent it to nim. That should get the ball rolling there.

For 2 I can get things setup in the packagedb with the current font packages once the mailing list is setup. CCing myself so I know when that is.

The list is created, but no one sent me the list password, so I can't perform list admin duties

password reset, email sent.
