NOTE: This specification is just a placeholder for now. See the linked issue above for status.

== Purpose

To maintain a mailing list suitable for discussions about Bisq development and other forms of contribution.

== Motivation

The old https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitsquare[Bitsquare Google Group] has fallen out of use. This is partially due to the fact that we set up a Mailchimp-based newsletter later on in the project, and the purpose of the Google Group became unclear afterwards. Our motivation here is to replace the Google Group with a our own GNU Mailman instance at https://lists.bisq.network, and to use it to manage a clearly-defined _contributors_ mailing list. Mailman is well-understood and well-liked by free software contributors, and so we assume it will be a good fit for Bisq contributors going forward. The Mailchimp-based newsletter will stick around, as it is an idiomatic way to stay in touch with Bisq's not necessarily technical users.

== Privileges

The operator will have administrative access to the Mailman server at https://lists.bisq.network, as well as administrative access to the infrastructure that hosts it.

== General Requirements

=== Bonding
The operator MUST post a bond of **TBD** BSQ to assume this role.
The operator MUST:

- post a bond of **TBD** BSQ to assume this role
- maintain this role specification document

== Special Requirements

The operator MUST:

- keep the Mailman installation up and running
- keep the Mailman installation up to date with latest patches
- respond promptly to any questions / requests in the #lists Slack channel (recommendation: set your Slack notification preferences for that channel to be notified on "all new messages" so you don’t miss anything)
- acknowledge / respond promptly to any issues submitted to the https://github.com/bisq-network/lists[bisq-network/lists] GitHub repository
