Awesome concept. It was about time someone innovated on the mailing list concept.

#12Sounds a good concept. Can anyone send email to the created list or just the initial members? What if the list is already created / used by other people?
Only members of the list can send an email to the list - since the list names are tied to the sender's address you don't need to worry about uniqueness (ie. my family@fiesta.cc is different than your family@fiesta.cc)
Can you add addresses to a list later on?

#13Mailing list systems are complicated for a reason: the signup process where you have to send a confirmation mail is there to prevent users from unsolicted mails. How are you going to solve the problem of unsolicted mail deployed through these autovivified mailing lists?
We've got some basic spam prevention already in place with some more advanced ideas being implemented soon.
You're right though, if all else fails the welcome email will just end up having an opt-in link.

Yup, can add (or remove) addresses at any time using the "List members" link at the bottom of every fiesta email you get.

Ah, very cool :) Thanks for the explanation...
*btw, I would not use a ".cc" domain for the project, since it is mostly used by malware stuff lately :/

The ".cc" is meant to evoke the act of CC'ing somebody in an email, or creating a mailing list just by cc'ing somebody.
Also, they wanted like $1M for fiesta.com or something :P

One more thing... what happens if I'm part of two different family@fiesta.cc lists? :-)

when somebody tries to add you to the second one it'll be automatically renamed (just for you, not for everybody else) to family1@fiesta.cc - you can then go into the web UI and rename both however you want!
