I have modified majordomo version 1.62 to allow for the printing of a
one-liner description of each list with the "lists" command. The
reason is that short list names are desirable, but not always descriptive.
Therefore, I wanted a bit of information to come back with the list of
lists.
My change is just a hack to the "do_lists" subroutine in majordomo
which looks for "listname.one-liner" in the same directory that holds
the .info file. If present, this one-liner is printed next to the list
name.
I have not added a command similar to the "newinfo" command to allow
adding of this information by a non-privileged list owner. If this
sounds like a good idea, consider it just a suggestion :-). At present,
I do not have time to flesh out the one-liner idea myself. If someone
would like to pick up on this, I'll show my (trivial) changes to
majordomo.
