We have defined a small subset of types of list which we let people create,
several default settings for private, public, announce only types of list.
We can let some admin staff create these lists, but if the owner wants
anything a bit more esoteric well we either step in a help during the
creation or if we know the owner and their level of competence we might
leave it to them to sort out their own header after creation.

Subject: Who creates your lists?


I am curious if all of you who are LISTSERV administrators actually create
all the new lists for your site. I am the List Admin for our site, and so
far I have always been the one to create new lists. But there is some
sentiment here that this is a low-level task that could be relegated to a
clerical position or, possibly, automated. So I'd just like to get some
feedback on how this is handled at other LISTSERV sites, and the pros and
cons of letting someone other than the List Admin create new lists. Thanks.
