Hi all The request for a web interface for ccn-webmaster is not an issue of platform, software or how the listserv operates. The request is to make available a user activated subscribe/unsubscribe function from a web page. It is standard practice to request a prospective user to send an e-mail to xxx@xxx.xxx with "subscribe list" in the body. This requires the prospect to - switch to an e-mail application - address the e-mail - compose the e-mail - send the e-mail Seems simple enough, but not to all. (I won't bore you with a list of reasons, factors and attitude why some find the process daunting or unfriendly.) In an ideal world, My preference would be a simple "click to subscribe", "click to unsubscribe" interface. In a less than ideal world, the users e-mail address may not be known in the web interface. Therefore, I compromise by requesting that it be provided. Given these limits, what I require for the ccn-webmaster list, is a web interface function that will subscribe/unsubscribe users from the list. Note: I currently use such an interface http://www.gov.ns.ca/finance/publish/pub23.htm Can the listserv function at Chebucto be modified to accomodate this request? Issues related to how the listserv operates are separate. It is only the subscribe/unsubscribe function that is being addressed.
