nitpo: The sebeg project
Between 2021‒10 and 2022‒10, Thomas Krichel ran the sebeg
project. This is a contribution to building nitpo. Sebeg had
three phases
- baser phase. Sets out the part that does the basic
posting. Addresses to post to are given by an external
system. Emails are customized by contents but contain no
facility to sign off via nitpo.
- unsub phase. Adds unsub links and allows for their
processing on a web site.
- subsi phase. Adds a facility to subscribe. This use uses
Javascript fetch to be able to run without users going to the web
site of the expertise sharing system. This is a script called mulsu.
