			It's a good idea to decentralize ownership of the list and moderator privileges, so as to better distribute the work of running and moderating a list.

			* Under '''Owner''' below your entry, add the email address of someone active in the group who's agreed to share ownership.
			** Owners can freely add or delete subscribers to the list, and pass on messages that get caught in the queue by non-members posting to the list.
			** Once you add another Owner and save changes, a new form for adding another owner will appear.

Yar: suggestions for configuring a riseup list

suggestions for configuring a riseup list

New page

The Omni uses a lot of [https://lists.riseup.net/www/ email lists on riseup.net].

Here's some things you can do after you create one.

== Visit your list page ==

If your list is named "omni-something" your list URL is: https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/omni-something

Make sure you are logged in!

== Make it visible/joinable ==
If people can't see the page, they are effectively "invite-only", and the only way to join is emailing an owner asking nicely. When people can see the page, that means they can request to join by pressing a button. Much lower barrier to entry.
* Click on: '''Admin''' -> '''Edit list config''' -> '''List definition'''
* Under ''Visibility of the list'', make sure it says: ''The list is visible in the directory of lists. (anyone)''

== Let members post freely ==
By default, everybody is moderated. We should only need to moderate posts from non-members.
* Click on: '''Admin''' -> '''Edit list config''' -> '''Sending/reception'''
* Under ''Who can send messages'', make sure it says: ''List members may post, other email is held for moderation. (members_or_moderated)''

== Create a public description ==
This way people can read what your group is about.

=== 1) Review the description ===
I notice some of them are worded as personal messages like "Hello Riseup I would like a list for this reason". They probably don't make it clear that this would become public text!
* Click: '''Admin''' -> '''Customizing''' -> '''HTML pages''' -> '''Edit List description'''
* Make sure it's something you actually want new people and the public to see
* Press '''Save'''

=== 2) Make it public ===
If you don't make the description public, people will see a confusing message about "private information" even on a public-facing list.
* Click on: '''Admin''' -> '''Edit list config''' -> '''Privileges'''
* Under ''Who can view list information'', make sure it says: ''The list info page is publically visible. (anyone)''
