In the past we used bin/withlist to create dlist enabled lists - but last
year we moved that functionality to the gui.

Anna - thanks for looking in to see if there were any quick changes you
could do to enable the cli feature -- I had completely forgotten about the
previous withlist requirement to create the new lists.

At this point, I think it's great that we have documentation on how new list
creation does not work just using bin/newlist for anything other then the
site list - that needs to be noted on the wiki and now we have the bug open
as well.

Great!  Let's move on.  It sounds like implementing the cli feature is not
something that can be done easily and we have other priorities at the
moment.

Svaksha if you have time -- after the dev machine is installed and
functional -- you can investigate using the withlist option and documenting
how to use if you'd like to use -- but I think at this point the bug needs
to stay open, marked low-priority  -- we can change to unassigned (or assign
it to me).  I think it would be a much better use of  time to start testing
the dev.systers.org install.

I'm only available intermittently this week - but starting next Tuesday
fully available for the rest of the summer.

Thanks,
Jen
