The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Jeff,

That's a very good question and that's actually on our roadmap for Sympa.

Currently list creation via the web involves our so called 
create_list_templates that you can customize but you can't extend the 
input (listname, subject, topic, description,..) and there is no 
dynamical relationship between the list and the template : once the list 
is created it does not keep track of what template was used.

We definately want to merge both mecanisms soon (but actually not in 
Sympa 5.2).
