I would like to offer an interim ruby-quiz. Note: I am not
presumptuously claiming quiz stewardship. I have written up this quick
proposal and am promising to publish a summary to discuss any submitted
quizzes--that is all.
Quiz:
Middle Management Email
Challenge:
Write a small program to automate the management of email lists, like
for example Majordomo (written in Perl).
Response:
What it should support
* managing email lists (create/destroy list)
* managing permissions (doesn't need to be complex, just needs to ensure
that not just any member can nuke a list)
* some specific commands (taken from Brent Chapman's original spec on
Majordomo(1)):
* subscribe list [address] Subscribe yourself (or address, if
specified) to list
* unsubscribe list [address] Unsubscribe yourself (or address, if
specified) from list
* which [address] Find out which lists you (or address, if specified)
are on
* who list Show the members of list
* info list Show the general introductory information for list
* lists Show the lists handled by this server
* help Retrieve a help message, explaining these commands
* end Stop processing commands (useful if your mailer automatically
adds a signature to your messages)
Due:
Next Wednesday 11/10/2010
