Thank you for that. Previously, two facilities existed, relating to "Adoptable Lists". One, was an automated email message sent to each applicable mailing list, with the subject field value "This List is available for adoption", or, words to the same effect, and, I believe that it included a link, for any existing list subscriber who wanted to adopt the list, which link could perhapds, be replaced by the current mailto html code as used in the above web page for "Adopt this list". The other, was, I think, a monthly automated email message, sent out to sibscribers to a particular announce mailing list set up by Rootsweb, from memory, it may have been Rootsweb News, and it contained rwo components; 1. a list of "New Lists created this month", with the name of each new list created in the calendar month, in name order, and a link to the applicable mailing list web page, so a subscriber could read the list description, and, subscribe, from the particular list web page (a mailto html command, works well, for this) and 2. a list of "Lists that have been made available for adoption this month (that are still available for adoption, at the time of the automated message being sent)", that included a link to each applicable web page. I think, but I am not sure, that the mailing list web page fopr each adoptable list, had a statement toward the top of the web page, indicating that the mailing list was available for adoption, with a link for seeking adoption of the list. Having that, immediately under the list description, or, immediately inder the "How to subscribe" instructions, would be useful. If these aids could be implemented, I siggest that it would help facilitate adoption of lists that are available for adoption, and, in the case of the "New Lists created this month", would help facilitate subscription and use of the newly created lists. Also, it would mean that, after having spent the couple of hours going through the existing list of lists available for adoption, instead of having to repeat that, every month, having gone thropugh it once, initally, new additions to the list, each month, could be easily and more quickly found, by the automated monthly update announce email newsletters. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

We have no plans to implement that functionality at this time.

In the table that is the List Of Subscriptions, at https://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ that a list subscriber can view, where , for example, in the Roles column, two options currently exist; "subscriber" and "subscriber+owner", either in that column, after the word "subscriber", or, in the List Name column, after a space after the list name, inserting something like an asterisk, with a key at the bottom (or, above the table), indicating that the asterisk represents that the list is available for adoption? And, including, under the table, the link for the web page that lists the lists that are available for adoption. I expect that it would be simple enough (for an appropriately skilled web developer), to write a Perl script, to check (and indicate, in the results of the search and retrieve of all lists to which an email address is subscribed) whether a list has the status flagged, of being available for adoption? So that, when the current query for retrieving the list name of each list to which an email address is subscribed, retrieves a list name, the existing query is (slightly) expanded, to also check and return whether the list is available for adoption. Depending on what is used for the backend of the software that returns the table displayed at https://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/postorius/accounts/subscriptions/ I expect that this could be implemented by simply expanding the existing SQL query, if SQL is used, or, if scripting, such as Perl, is used, then I expect that a Perl developer (or, a developer in whatever scripting language is used) would be able to simply expand the Perl (or otherwise script) query. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

Sure, it would be something even a semi-skilled web developer could do. And I have very skilled software engineers who work on my many products. And right now, they are all working on higher priority tasks. Maybe someday.

Hi Brett, I adopted several lists and it took about a day (or less) for notification to come through. I didn't worry too much about that as I think they are probably snowed under at the moment with, probably, more important things.

Anne, When you get to this, if the CAVE surname list has no owner, I would like to adopt it. It is not on the adoptable list, bu it could be dead. Marleen Van Horne
