RFC: copying settings from one list to another - how should it be done?

Hello everyone,

First off, thanks for all the input on the Config pm pod stuff - I'm
still not sure what I'm going to do in future realease, but I may
create a test version of the Config pm w/o pod and see what people
think - the current opinion wasn't unanimous either way, so I'm going
to be siding conservatively on this issue, at this time

Another issue:

Many, many people are interested in using one list's settings as a
default for a new list - if you're interested in this feature, do you
think:

  • this should be an option when you create a new list? For example,
    after you fill out the "Create a New List" form fields dealing with
    the list name, list owner, description of the list, etc should there
    be a new option that says something like, "User an already existing
    list to set your new list's default settings?"

    or,

  • would you rather see this functionality as a new administration
    screen, where you'll log into an already created list and have the
    option to basically, "clone" the list you're on, and make a new list,
    perhaps with a new list name, etc

I sort of like option #1, although it would have to be clarified
whether what you just filled out on the, "Create a New List" form
would be override by the information you just filled out

Any comments on how this should be done? I know this has been sort of
a headache for people who like to make a lot of lists,
