Hm, how can I get the admin password for the list?  It was long ago last time I created a mailing list through savannah and I forgot.. :/

Thanks Bob, Ian.
And sorry for the digit thing... didn't occur to me it could be problematic :)

Awesome!  It looks like it is alive and working now.

Bob missed a step in creating the list. I did it and it should be
working in less than 10 minutes. I don't know about the original
failure, it could be the digit.

I decided I would test the limits and create the list manually.  I don't think the characters are a mail restriction but there might be something in the automation which prevents it.  A useful experiment and regardless of the result I will learn something.  Maybe I will learn that it is not allowed!

In any case I created the list and set it up but there is something preventing it from being immediately available.  However many things at *gnu.org are done by repeating cronjobs run at intervals.

I am going to delay for a bit, at least an hour, and then come back and test to see if it is available at that time yet or not.

This may be one of the sufficient reasons: the list name should start with a [_a-zA-Z-] and further consist of [._[:alnum:]-].

Hello savannah hackers!

I just tried to create a new mailing list -email is unavailable- in the GNU Hackers Meetings project.  It is to organize the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the project.

It didn't seem to work.
Maybe it is because the name starts with a digit?

TIA!
