We are creating lists from the command line like

sympa.pl -create_list test -input_file test.xml

The XML list creation template looks like

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<list>
  <listname>test</listname>
  <type>private_working_group</type>
  <subject>example list</subject>
  <description/>
  <status>open</status>
  <visibility>secret</visibility>
  <shared_edit>editor</shared_edit>
  <shared_read>editor</shared_read>
  <language>us</language>
  <owner multiple="1">
    <email>address@concealed</email>
  </owner>
</list>

This will create a generic private_working_group list.  Are there XML elements that will create a list such that...
  

You have to edit your own list type.

• create ~sympa/etc/create_list_templates
• cp -pR ~sympa/bin/etc/create_list_templates/private_working_group/ ~sympa/etc/create_list_templates/uchicago-list-type1
• edit and customize anyfile you want in ~sympa/etc/create_list_templates/uchicago-list-type1 . You can introduce any new var using [% xxx %] tt2 syntax
• create a xml file for variables definition : myfile.xml
  

• it must include all vars you have defined at previous step

• <type>uchicago-list-type1</type>

sympa.pl -create_list test -input_file myfile.xml

Hope this help.
