external mailing lists

Hi,

I've already heard complains that the pt-br mailing lists aren't listed in
[1]. It seems only pg.org ML are listed. Are there any reason to not list ML
hosted outside the postgresql.org domain there? For example, Japan and Brazil
are not listed there and it seems that those communities doesn't have MLs (of
course, they are listed in 'Community' but it is too much trips to find out a
regional ML).

The code currently generates the list of lists from the database. I
don't recall if it's automatically populated from Majordomo - I don't
believe it is, so that's likely not a problem, but we would need some
code updates to prevent the subscription form from assuming all the
mailing lists are hosted by mail.postgresql.org.

AFAIR we discussed this previously and we have a field in the database
for external URLs, so I think we should be able to make it work.

Italian list(s) are also not there.

So what's the URL to the pt-br list?  Is it pgbr-geral?

Yes. Are you talking about archives or subscribe form? Former is in [1] and
the latter is in [2].

[1] http://listas.postgresql.org.br/pipermail/pgbr-geral/
[2] https://listas.postgresql.org.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pgbr-geral
