Thanks, Amy, 

I pulled that language from the existing site but separated it from the context that helped it make sense. 

How about this revision to the last paragraph: 

The lists are also archived and publicly searchable. Our 
policy is that the archives are not modified except under rare 
situations where confidential information has been inadvertently 
shared on a list. You should promptly send a request to 
feedback at evergreen-ils.org if you believe confidential information has been inadvertently shared on the list. 
However, be advised that deleting information in the archives will not 
make it go away because mailing lists have been mirrored, have feeds, 
and are in the Google cache and other search engine indexes.

Lori— 

Two things: 

You have a typo here: 

The lists are also archived archived and publicly searchable. 

And here, where you write: 

Please send a request promptly to 
feedback at evergreen-ils.org if you believe you are the exception. 

Do you mean that if the person’s post was excised and they found fault with the reasoning, they should email? Maybe that could be stated more clearly. 

Other than that, +1.

Thanks for those links Galen. I'll toss out a draft mailing list 
policy to get us going.... 

Mailing List Policy 

Mailing lists are crucial to the operation of the Evergreen Community. 
The General Mailing List serves as the primary communication for all 
members of the community and provides a venue for users to help each 
other use the software. In addition, Evergreen users and developers 
use mailing lists to coordinate development and the Oversight Board 
uses a mailing list to manage issues of governance. Mailing lists also 
serve as a primary channel for working groups to conduct Evergreen 
business (e.g. Documentation Interest Group, Web Team, Catalogers, 
etc). 

The Evergreen community values openness, transparency, and 
collaboration and seeks to provide an environment that respects and 
encourages all contributions. As such, none of the Evergreen mailing 
lists are private. Anyone can subscribe to any of the lists available 
at http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php . 

Mailing list participants are expected to respect the stated purpose 
of each list and conduct themselves in a mutually respectful manner at 
all times. 

The lists are also archived archived and publicly searchable. Our 
policy is that the archives are not modified except under rare 
situations where confidential information has been inadvertently 
shared on a list. Please send a request promptly to 
feedback at evergreen-ils.org if you believe you are the exception. 
However, be advised that deleting information in the archives will not 
make it go away because mailing lists have been mirrored, have feeds 
and are in the Google cache and other search engine indexes.
