Developers of Sympa

[address@concealed]

On-Hand, I do not have the code.  I made a bunch of hacks to sympasoap to 
support administrative functions -- this was done so that Sympa could be 
integrated into a social-networking application for election activists in 
2004.  Very quick & dirty work that I decided not to fold back into the Sympa 
tree because I thought it was a bit shabby (much regret about that now).  If 
you really want it, I will ask the other developers to see if they have a 
copy of the code laying around in their repositories.

For the meantime -- What code are you changing?  sympasoap.pm?

Adding new functions to sympasoap.pm was pretty simple-  I started by 
refactoring the equivalent code inside of wwsympa.fcgi or sympa.pl. -- 

In this case however, I would use &admin::update_list and try something like 
this:

## open the list
my $list = new List($list_name,$robot_name);

## Setup the parameters for the list (see List.pm)
my $parameters;
$parameters{'subject'} = "New subject for this list";
... ## etc.. etc..

## Specify the list owner
my %owner;
$owner{'email'} = "address@concealed";
$owner{'gecos'} = "epsas nova";

push @{$parameters->{'owner'}}, \%owner;

my $result = &admin::update_list($list, $parameters);
