 Generally it is up to the mailman administrator to judge whether a list is justified for creation.  The justification doesn't need to be strong, but the list should be OSGeo related, reasonably likely to generate some use, or be requested on behalf of a project.

+== Configuring the mailing list ==
 * Please set "A terse phrase identifying this list." to something brief and meaningful as this is what is shown on the main lists directory.   It is on the ''General'' tab.
 * Set "Who can view subscription list?" on the ''Privacy'' tab to "List Admin Only", otherwise anyone can subscribe and then harvest the mailing list.
 * Set ''generic_nonmember_action'' on the ''Privacy->Sender filters'' tab to reject as most lists are not actively administered so we prefer to reject rather than holding posts from unsubscribed folks.
 * Be sure to choose a name that does not already have an existing alias, such as: sales, support, www, security.  If you need to use one of these names someone will have to edit the /etc/aliases file for you manually.
