Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-113:
---------------------------------
> hermes creates the qmail forwarding files automatically,
A while back, I created .qmail-__update_forward__, which will run
/home/apmail/bin/generate-dotqmail-availid.py. The thought was that some
whimsy tool (most likely the secretary workbench) could email
_update_forward__,@apache.org which would create the qmail forwarding files
semi-immediately rather than wait until the next time the cron job ran.
> Have Secretary create new accounts directly

> Currently most new account requests are made by the secretary, with the
> remainder by PMC chairs and ASF members. These requests are made by whimsy
> forms and result in a file created in svn that is processed, generally daily,
> by infrastructure staff.
> The new process envisioned is that the secretary will create new accounts
> directly; and that new account requests will be sent via email to secretary@
> and processed by the secretary workbench. Generally, processing of such
> requests should be at most a few mouse clicks, though an opportunity will be
> provided to tweak such things a public names and to verify that a proper vote
> link was provided.
