Adding/updating documentation for the website:

- added mailman-admin member (in progress, but probably useable) - added mailman-member-es, the Spanish translation of the members' docs - updated mailman-member - updated some html files to link to these.

+<H3><A NAME="SECTION002371000000000000000">
+3.7.1 Subscription rules</A>
+</H3>
+
+<P>
+This subcategory controls the rules for exposing the existance of this
+list, and for what new members must do in order to subscribe to the
+list.
+
+<P>
+<DL>
+<DT><STRONG>advertised</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This option controls whether this list will show up in the list
+    overview for the site.  Normally, an overview contains the name
+    and short description of every mailing list in the virtual
+    domain.  By setting this variable to <i>No</i>, it will not show
+    up in this overview, nor will it show up in the administrative
+    overview.  The only way then to find the list is to guess (or
+    know!) its name.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>subscribe_policy</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This option controls the steps that a new member must take to join
+    the list.  The available options may differ based on some defaults
+    that the site administrator chooses.  They are:
+
+<P>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>None - No verification is done on the subscribing
+          member. This is also called <i>open subscriptions</i> and is
+          generally disabled by default.  The site administrator must
+          allow list admins to choose this option; if not, this option
+          will not be presented to you.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Confirm - An email confirmation step is required before the
+          address is added to the list.  When a member requests
+          subscription, either via the web page or by sending a
+          message to <var>yourlist</var><code>-join@example.com</code>, Mailman
+          will send a confirmation message to the requesting address.
+          This mail-back confirmation contains a unique identifier,
+          which the requester can present to Mailman in order to
+          confirm their subscription.  This can be done either by
+          replying to the mail-back, or by visiting the url in the
+          mail-back message.  The url points to a page that lets the
+          user either discard or confirm their request.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Require approval - All subscription requests are held for
+          approval of the list moderator.  No mail-back confirmation
+          is sent, but the list admins will recieve a message
+          indicating that approval is pending.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Confirm and approve - Here, a mail-back notice must first
+          be confirmed by the requester.  Once confirmed, the list
+          moderator must then approve the request.  This is the most
+          secure method for users to subscribe since it both verifies
+          the requesting address, and forces the list moderators to
+          approve the request.
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+</UL>
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>unsubscribe_policy</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>Specifies whether the list moderator's approval is required for
+    unsubscription requests.  <i>No</i> is highly recommended, since
+    it is exceedingly impolite to not allow people to leave a mailing
+    list whenever they want (i.e. opt-out).  <i>Yes</i> is useful in
+    some specialized contexts; e.g. you may not want to allow
+    employees to unsubscribe from the company newsletter.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>ban_list</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This contains a list of addresses (or regular expressiosn), one
+    per line, that are banned from ever subscribing to your mailing
+    list.  If a match occurs during the subscription process, the
+    request will be automatically rejected, and the requester will get
+    a rejection notice.  You can use this to permanently ban
+    troublesome posters to a members-only list.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>private_roster</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>This specifies who is allowed to view the roster of member
+    addresses.  If you choose <i>Anyone</i>, then the list membership
+    is completely public.  You can limit exposure of the roster to
+    just list members, or just to the list administrators.  In the
+    former case, a user must enter a valid member's address and
+    password before they can view the roster.  In the latter case, a
+    list administrator's password must be enter; if a matching admin
+    password is entered, address field is ignored.
+
+<P>
+</DD>
+<DT><STRONG>obscure_addresses</STRONG></DT>
+<DD>Controls whether some simple obfuscation of addresses is used when
+    member addresses are included on web pages.  This should reduce
+    the opportunity for email address harvesting by spammers, although
+    it probably doesn't eliminate it.
+</DD>
