Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this
directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98
directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin
repository.

By + turning this flag off by default, postings by members will be + allowed without further intervention (barring other restrictions + such as size or implicit recipient lists - see below). By + turning the flag on, you can quarantine new member postings to + make sure that they meet your criteria for netiquette, topicality, + etc. Once you determine that the new member understands the + community's posting rules, you can turn off their moderation flag + and let their postings go through unstopped. + +<p> +E-newsletter style lists can also be set up by using the + moderation flag. By setting the <code>member_moderation_action</code> + to <em>Reject</em>, and by turning off the moderation flag for just + the few approved senders, your list will operate in essentially a + one-way direction.

When you dispose + of the message, you will be given an opportunity to clear the + moderation flag at the same time.
