I'm still convinced that a mailing list manager with a custom subscription form and some hooks would be more suitable for the job: - the partner[1] fills the subscription form with his data - the frontend then subscribes the partner to the corresponding mailing list and creates the webwml snippet (maybe one file per partner for easy addition/deletion?) - if necessary the mailing list can be configured to require subscription approval by a "moderator" and/or e-mail verification with a custom message - periodic pings are then just messages sent to the list ;) - deleting a partner is then a matter of unsubscribing from the list - changes are rare (and minor) enough to be handled directly in CVS AFAIK withing the webwml alioth group it is possible to set up webwml-* lists as necessary, the custom forms/message templates and hooks are missing, which could make an interesting project IMVHO. At the moment I'm not very keen on working on consultants submissions because of the pointless manual and error prone work needed in copy-pasting entries from e-mail to CVS. Unfortunately I don't have the skills myself to try to automatize it :( [1] I'm trying to find a generic term to include consultants, cd-vendors, etc. Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It can even use the current www.debian.org pseudopackage with an appropriate usertag so it gets filtered out. For example: To: sub...@bugs.debian.org From: yourname Subject: Please add consultant Package: www.debian.org Severity: wishlist User: www.debian.org Usertags: consultants # Consultant: COUNTRYTLD # email checked on -MM-DD > http://www.example.com";> will pretty much do it, and should make it pretty dang easy to add new consultants.
