New Discussions forum/mailing list request

To whom would I address a request to make a new Discussions group (here on discussions.apple.com) and/or an email list from lists.apple.com?
I would like to see a new forum (or forums) in iTunes for programmers. Perhaps one for Macintosh and one for Windows. This forum would be for programmers who are trying to write programs that interact with iTunes through the Apple-provided APIs, and would like assistance.
There doesn't seem to be an existing forum or mailing list for these kinds of questions.

To whom would I address a request to make a new
Discussions group (here on discussions.apple.com)
and/or an email list from lists.apple.com?
This is the right place to ask for a new forum. There is one already for developers in general:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=727
If it is assistance from Apple you are seeking rather than from other developers, I think the channel would probably be
http://developer.apple.com/

James, 
Please check your Apex preferences: 
SELECT name, value, pref_desc FROM flows_020100.wwv_flow_platform_prefs; 
(replace flows_020100 by your FLOWS user) and check if the SMTP_HOST_ADDRESS and SMTP_HOST_PORT have the correct values.
Also check the contents of WWV_FLOW_MAIL_LOG and WWV_FLOW_MAIL_QUEUE.
With kind regards,

Reminder: JMX-FORUM mailing list

Hi,
Readers of this web forum might like to know that there is a mailing list called <code>[email protected]</code> with over 1000 subscribers. To subscribe to the forum, send an email message to [email protected] with an empty subject and this line in the body:
<code>subscribe jmx-forum firstname lastname</code>
for example:
<code>subscribe jmx-forum Eamonn McManus</code>
You must be subscribed to the mailing list to be able to send messages to it.
A searchable archive of the forum, dating back to late 1999, can be consulted at http://archives.java.sun.com/jmx-forum.html.
You do not need to be subcribed to the mailing list to read the archives.
Discussions on the mailing list tend to be more detailed than is easily managed on a web forum such as this one.

The core problem here is authentication. Email cannot be authenticated (without another mechanism anyway), which is why it's such a pain to avoid spam on mailing lists. Anyone can put anything in the 'from' header, and the mailing list will happily replicate it and send it out to everyone if that 'from' address was on the subscribed list.
So a read-only mailing list version of the forum works fine, but implementing some way of being able to post to the list and have that reflected on the forum is a mess and a half. I don't think there is an elegant solution either, you could use gpg signing or some other public key crypto scheme to do sane authentication, but it wouldn't scale very well since the server-side resource usage is somewhat high.
Anyhow... interesting problem to solve.

JDO Spec Discussion Group/Mailing List

Is there a newsgroup, mailing list or other forum where users of the JDO
spec and it's implementations can discuss the spec, best practices, ask
general spec-related (rather than implementation) questions, etc?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have used the group mailing list feature and the group web service maillist archive.
In both cases the Mail service must be running. I set up the General panel to Enable POP and IMAP because I have users on those services. I did not Enable SMTP because I used my ISP for outgoing. I don't think you need IMAP or POP for teamsserver mail because no mailbox is created for that user by cyrus or postfix.
In the Relay panel set to accept SMTP relays from 127.0.0.1 and your server IP.
Use junk mail rejection from zen.spamhaus.org
In the Mailing lists panel Enable server group mailing list.
In the Advanced panel -> Hosting ensure you have a local host alias set for your groups domain.com
Group mailing list can be setup in WGM with Enable Mailing list for the group.
Group Mailing list web archive will only work when wiki/blogs are setup for the group.

Ann: new JDO/DAO mail list

I have added a new mail list "JDO" at
http://www.basebeans.net:8080/mailman/listinfo/jdo

aimed at talking about DAO, such as JDO by KODO, DB Layer by iBatis,
Commons-SQL by Jakarta, JDBC RowSet, Hibernate, JDOSQL, Connection Pooling,
JDBC Realms, ADO.net, SQL, Stored Porcedures, sql.Date, Blob, Clob,
Connection Pooling, Data source, Castor, Cayene, Scaffolding, etc. and
related, in general Model Component (of MVC) and . DAO! Both SQL based DAO
and O/R based DAO how to. This list is also available via news form server,
for those that find mail lists messy, as most do at:
news.basebeans.com, just user your Outlook or Mozilla.

Please join this new JDO mail list, I found not other JDO/DAO mail lists out
there.

This is 1st new list a long time (other one is
http://www.basebeans.net:8080/mailman/listinfo/mvc-programmers ) for
experienced project and tech leads, basicPortal.sf.net and Struts training.
Other mail lists that you can easily read there without getting any mail
traffic are: Struts, JDOM, Hibernate, SOAP Axis, JSP, AspectJ, Eclipse,
Flash Action Script, Resin, pgSQL, mySQL, etc. If you already use
news.basebeans.com, you will have to hit refresh to get the new groups (JDO
and Flash actionscript)

Flash is the other new one only one the news.basebeans, I started sending
XML from my formBeans to Flash Fire Fly with good results.

New Discussions forum has down graded my number of posts...

Why oh why do Apple have to fix something that is not broken - I loved the old discussions forum, I am not change adverse however what is the point of changing something which works?? Also, my number of posts have gone down to 15! I am not an Apple newbie and had a lot to say... give me back my original number of posts please!!
I am sure other members feel the same... is there anyone else out there who has noticed that their posts number has gone down? It may sound silly but I think it reflects on the nature of your query and also how your advice is taken up by other users. I definately rely on the number under the name of the poster as an indication of wheather what they are saying is correct!

Weird ... I understand about Reps & levels being (tempoorarily/temporally) 'ou to lunch' but I am puzzled about posts ...
Many others' counts look OK to me (people I'm familiar with, or would consider 'Peers in Posts', obviously .
I appear to have lost many hundreds - who remembers exactly ? It's not the sort of thing I memorize - But it was more 400 than 40... or 800 than 80.
(I have ca. 600 in my mailbox just from my posts - and just from threads I had email Subs to ... so a 2 digit number is fairly unlikely grin)
Perhaps it'll all sort itself out
(I never did much like the way Posts arbitrarily went Offline, anyway - permanently unavailable to searches - so I'd subscribe via email to have my own copy. This made it easier to explain/answer the same complicated question/problem the next 20 times it got asked after the original dropped off the twig. It's not as if the questions & answers don't remain relevant - in many cases, for years afterwards...)

I appreciate if someone comes up with an EBusiness Architecture forum, where users can share there architectures and best practices to tame the monster EBusiness

Please help - discussion forum problem.

I am subscribed to Apple Discussions forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" to receive a weekly digest. Today, however, I have received about 20 emails - each time there is a post to the forum. I checked "My Settings" and it indicates weekly digest. I did re-save that.
My pop mail server rejects new emails after a certain number and I don't want it to reject important emails because it's filled up by these individual posts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Since March 2007, when I first signed up, I've been getting weekly digests. Here is the email I received on 6/24 which states:
"You have requested mail to be sent to you when messages are posted to certain areas in Apple Discussions.
The following updates have been made since 6/17/07 1:06 AM
Forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" has been updated 2000 times .............."
It then proceeds to list all 2000 of them (in that one weekly digest email) -- with links.
Today was the first day I received individual posts.
After receiving 35 individual emails today, I changed "My Settings" and unsubscribed, and since then I haven't gotten any.
It might be some email glitch as Ernie and MacJack sugested "that all the problems encountered in the forum operation this week" and "others who do (subscribe to weekly digests) reported this also."
I solved MY problem in that I'm no longer being inundated by emails. I don't know if Apple solved theirs.
Thanks for your help.

Messaging Server and Mailing Lists

Hello,
is Messaging Server capable for use as a mailing list server like mailman to which one can send subscribe, unsubscribe and help messages? If yes, can one point me to the right documentation about that?
Thank you very much.
Greetings,
Willi

Hello Ajith,
Look at this and try downloading "mailmanwrapper.pl "
http://ims.balius.com/downloads/
I looked at the script but I do not understand the mapping to the LDAP database backend of the Messaging Server. In the script it is said "The ldap entries for the above aliases are below the script" but there are no such entries. In another wrapper script from Stephen Balukoff I found the following example LDAP entries:
dn: uid=list,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
objectClass: mailRecipient
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
mailUserStatus: active
mail: list@${mail_domain}
mailHost: ${mail_host}
uid: list
mailDeliveryOption: program
mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-post
dn: uid=list-request,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
objectClass: mailRecipient
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
mailUserStatus: active
mail: list-request@${mail_domain}
mailHost: ${mail_host}
uid: list-request
mailDeliveryOption: program
mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-mailcmd
dn: uid=list-admin,ou=Mailman,ou=People,o=${mail_domain},o=isp
objectClass: mailRecipient
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetMailUser
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
mailUserStatus: active
mail: list-admin@${mail_domain}
mailHost: ${mail_host}
uid: list-admin
mailDeliveryOption: program
mailProgramDeliveryInfo: mailman-mailowner
mailAlternateAddress: list-owner@${mail_domain}
Are this entries correct for the list aliases in mailmanwrapper.pl?
Thank you.

Welcome to the New NI Discussion Forums!

We are excited to present the NEW and IMPROVED NI Discussion Forums to you, our valued community members!
The community not only had a face-lift, it now offers a full set of advanced personalization features and it is available in seven languages!
Here are some tips to help you get around the new system:
What do the boxes next to the user names mean?
This is the new user ranking system. The three boxes represent the user’s score in the three performance metrics: ratings, posts, and logins. The darker the box is shaded, the higher the user has scored in that performance metric.
The box on the left is the average message rating the user has received.
The box in the center is the total number of posts the user has contributed to the community.
The box on the right is the number of times the user has logged into the community.
The blue boxes designate the user is an NI Employee while the gold boxes are reserved for NI Partners and customers.
How do I find a thread from the old system in the new system?
If you have the title of the thread, we recommend searching for it using the search bar at the top or bottom of the page.
If you do not have the title of thread or cannot find it with search, but you know that you posted to the thread, we recommend that you login and click on your Alias at the top of the page to view your profile. From your profile page, click on the Find All Posts by this User link and scroll through the results to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you didn’t post to it, but you know the Alias of someone else who did post to the thread, conduct a User search to find that user. Click on their Alias to view their profile page and then use the Find All Posts by this User link to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you don’t know the Alias of any user who posted to it, we recommend browsing the board that you believe it would be in until you find it.
How do I personalize the forums?
Once you login, click on the My Profile link at the top of the page. From the tabs on this page, you can modify your time zone, ratings preference, font size, emoticon style, etc to personalize your experience. As long as you remember to Save Changes before you leave the tabs, your forum will be personalized for you each time you login.
What languages are supported?
The user interface is translated into the following languages:
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
English
French
Korean
Japanese
Spanish
Note: The language in the My Preferences tab in the forums only controls the language for that session. As soon as you logout and login again, your language will be reset to the language that you have configured in your NI User Profile. To modify the language configured in your NI User Profile, visit www.ni.com/profile.

What does Float mean?
You can choose to pin boards or threads to the top of the lists so that when you are logged in they are the first things you see. To do this, click on the up arrow to the right of the board or message you want to Float to the top of your lists. When you no longer want this message or board at the top of your lists, you can click the arrow again to UnFloat the board or message.
Why are there smiley faces in the sample code pieces?
There are times when the pieces of code include the same characters that are used to create an emoticon in the forums. To disable emoticons so that you can see the code correctly, follow these steps:
Sign In or Register to the forums if you are not already logged in
Click My Profile in the User Bar at the top of the page
Click My Preferences to view the My Preferences tab
Change the Emoticon Type to None in the My Preferences tab in your Profile
Click Save Changes
Now when you browse to the thread, the code should be displayed correctly.
Emoticons will no longer be displayed in any messages you view in the forums until you change the Emoticon Type back to one of the other types.
If you have additional questions or feedback about the upgrade, refer to the Help or post to the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums board.

Just a couple of comments:
1. In the CVI forum, I couldn't post a message which included the C #include syntax with angle brackets. It interpreted the angle brakcets as HTML, gave me an HTML syntax error, and deleted the angle brackets as well as the .h file they enclosed. There may be a way in HTML to escape the angle brakcets so they can be included as text rather than interpreted as HTML, but I shouldn't have to do that in a C forum.
2. When I got the HTML error message above, it also deleted the file I had attached so when I posted the message, there was no attachment.
3. I don't get automatic hyperlinks in any posts I read or create. The text of the URL is there, but I can't just click to link to the new page. Am I missing some option?
4. Older but updated messages don't come to the top. I like to see new activity even if I'm not subscribed to that thread.
5. When reviewing the list of messages in the forums, I'd like to see the ratings of the author and of the reply (even before opening the message). In the old forums, the messages where tagged "Answered by Enthusiast" and/or "High rating".
6. I'd like to see the buttons to rate an answer even if I'm not logged. If I try to rate an answer when I'm not logged on, it could prompt me to log on first. If the rating buttons are only available if you're logged on, I think the number of ratings will be drastically reduced.
7. I miss the list of top contributors (formerly known as Enthusiasts). I think it was a good way to foster community and to get to know active members. It also generated some friendly competition to see who had more posts and who had higher ratings.
8. I liked the old organization with two sections to show the newest answered questions separate from the newest unanswered questions.
9. Some of the new search options are good additions. I'd like to combine the user search and the message search. For example, I might like to search for any message from Bilal on DLLs.
10. I had to make this a Top 10 list. I'm impressed by the amount of work that went into the new forums. Keep it up!
