<html>Hi Lori,<br><br>In the final paragraph, "The lists are also archived...." I am wondering if we want a stronger disclaimer on our ability to clean up mailing list exposure. Something to the effect that The Evergreen mailing lists are mirrors and possibly aggregated by third parties such as mail list aggregators and search engines. The evergreen community can, therefore, not be responsible for the disemination of confidential information that readers might post to these public lists.<br><br>Something like that, anyway?<br><br>Steve Wills <br><div><font color="#0000ff" face="Verdana" size="2"></font> </div>

Thanks for those links Galen. I'll toss out a draft mailing list<br>
policy to get us going....<br>
<br>
Mailing List Policy<br>
<br>
Mailing lists are crucial to the operation of the Evergreen Community.<br>
The General Mailing List serves as the primary communication for all<br>
members of the community and provides a venue for users to help each<br>
other use the software. In addition, Evergreen users and developers<br>
use mailing lists to coordinate development and the Oversight Board<br>
uses a mailing list to manage issues of governance. Mailing lists also<br>
serve as a primary channel for working groups to conduct Evergreen<br>
business (e.g. Documentation Interest Group, Web Team, Catalogers,<br>
etc).<br>
<br>
The Evergreen community values openness, transparency, and<br>
collaboration and seeks to provide an environment that respects and<br>
encourages all contributions. As such, none of the Evergreen mailing<br>
lists are private. Anyone can subscribe to any of the lists available<br>
at <a href="http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php" mce_href="http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php" target="_blank">http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php</a>.<br>
<br>
Mailing list participants are expected to respect the stated purpose<br>
of each list and conduct themselves in a mutually respectful manner at<br>
all times.<br>
<br>
The lists are also archived archived and publicly searchable. Our<br>
policy is that the archives are not modified except under rare<br>
situations where confidential information has been inadvertently<br>
shared on a list. Please send a request promptly to<br>
<a href="mailto:feedback@evergreen-ils.org" mce_href="mailto:feedback@evergreen-ils.org" target="_blank">feedback@evergreen-ils.org</a> if you believe you are the exception.<br>
However, be advised that deleting information in the archives will not<br>
make it go away because mailing lists have been mirrored, have feeds<br>
and are in the Google cache and other search engine indexes.<br>
