New backstage developer focused mailing list

Post categories:

I'm really pleased to announce the new totally developer focused mailing list.

For the moment you need to interact with it via email, but the new site will enable you to subscribe and un-subscribe via a GUI – similar to the main list now.

The new list is called backstage-developer you subscribe by sending an email to

majordomo@lists.bbc.co.uk

With either (in the body of the message leave the subject blank)

subscribe backstage-developer [your email]

Or

unsubscribe backstage-developer [your email]

It works in exactly the same way as the main backstage list but we’re going to take a much firmer view on what is discussed there – the developer list will be completely developer focused, and by that I mean messages along the lines of ‘Where’s the Weather API stuff?’ or ‘I’ve just built X give it a go’.

As I’m sure you all know majordomo is a little, well, old, and set in its ways – when you send your email send it in plain text only and avoid using any sig lines.

Once you’ve sent your mail you’ll get a confirmation email back from with a link to confirm that you wish to join. (you may want to check your spam folders for this email).
