The other day I was thinking about a project I'd like to setup that
will need a mailing list as well with a few extra requirements. When
I learned about Siesta back a few month ago I put the whole thing on
hold as I hope Siesta will be able to supply most of what I need.
Please let me know if Siesta will be able to do the following ?
Every subscribed user should be able to decide on her own which e-mails to
receive:
1) Only questions
(Actually I think this will be thread starters
or e-mail with some new subject as it is rather hard to
define what is a question)
So one will be able to monitor all the starts and get look at the
thread.
2) Responses to her question or in more general to her post.
So one can subscribe ask questions and get responses
but avoid getting all the traffic.
3) If using 1) then maybe add a link or an e-mail address to the message
that will enable the reader on the fly to mark a thread
which is interesting and in which she wants all the messages.
4) Apply the above rules to some subgroup selected by a regex
matching the subject or to be able to group the messages in some
clever way. Currently there are 5028 different groups but the
number is growing every day.
5) Use several of the above rules at the same time
e.g. to receive:
All questions and
All the responses to my questions.
6) Web interface so one can send questions or responses via that web
interface as well. (after authentication of course)
And if anyone finds those suggestions useful and will code them...
... if not I'll try to do them next month once I gain some more
understanding of the code ...
.. though I am afraid some of the above cannot be accomplished with the
current structure of Siesta.
