List Type:
Standard Discussion Forum
This option gives you a Mozilla Discussion Forum .
These are the normal mechanism for public discussion in the Mozilla
project. They are made up of a mailing list on
lists.mozilla.org , a newsgroup on news.mozilla.org and
a Google Group (which maintains the list archives), all linked
together. Users can add and remove themselves. If you aren't sure,
pick this one.
Mailing List Only
This option gives you a mailing list without the other access mechanisms. The
list can be private, although Mozilla is an "open by default" organization so
you need a good reason to have a private list. The archives are maintained by
Mailman, our mailing list software. Subscription can be open or
moderator-controlled. This type of list is normally hosted on the mozilla.org domain.
Distribution List
This option gives you a distribution list - basically, a mail exploder - on
mozilla.com . (This option is only appropriate for things which relate
specifically to Mozilla Corporation, such as confidential partner projects
or internal department lists.) Send email to the address, and it gets remailed
out to everyone on the list. There are no archives, and the "subscriber" list
is controlled by the IT team.
List Name:
The desired name for the newsgroup. Should start with 'mozilla.' and fit somewhere in the hierarchy described here .
Only enter the part before the @, the domain name is chosen based on the list type.
List Administrator:
[% INCLUDE global/userselect.html.tmpl
id => "listAdmin"
name => "listAdmin"
value => ""
size => 60
multiple => 5
%]
Note: The list administrator is also initially considered to be the list moderator
and will be responsible for moderation tasks unless delegated to someone else. For
convenience, [% terms.Bugzilla %] user accounts will autocomplete. The administrator is not required
to have a [% terms.Bugzilla %] account, and you can enter an address that doesn't autocomplete if
necessary.
Short one-line description:
This will be shown to users on the index of lists on the server.
This will be shown as the "real name" in the Zimbra address book.
Long description:

name = 'listLongDesc'
id = 'listLongDesc'
minrows = 10
maxrows = 25
cols = constants.COMMENT_COLS

%]
This will be shown at the top of the list's listinfo page.

[% INCLUDE global/userselect.html.tmpl
id => "cc"
name => "cc"
value => cc
size => 60
multiple => 5
%]
