I have a dream, that someday e-mail lists and the web will walk hand in hand.
In short, I want smarter e-mail lists to connect with dumber web forums with clean crisp usable interfaces (database drive archives with "skins" including a e-list to blog version with trackback, etc.), personalized content tracking across multiple groups, rss headline feeds, and web-based features like member directories and social networking options that will work best on the web. What I don't want is a system that makes e-mail users second class citizens and prejudices the system toward web-only posting. Perhaps Mailman 3 might be one of the open source paths we can take? As they develop their next set of project requirements I encourage you to contribute your ideas and technical abilities.

Feel free to subscribe at: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman3-dev [SLC - MORE: http://www.list.org/devs.html ] I'd like to keep MM3 discussions off the main mailman-developers list as much as possible. The list will be open and will be run with essentially the same policies as mailman-developers and mailman-users, except that it will reject posts by non-members. Sorry, but I think this will help keep the signal to noise ratio high and it reduces my administrative burden. I want to give the list a few days to get populated and then I'll start posting some issues in preparation for the upcoming sprint at Pycon. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-announce mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-announce Steven Clift - http://publicus.net - Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Join DoWire: http://e-democracy.org/do Speaking requests: http://publicus.net/speaker.html Watch my BBC World interview: http://publicus.net/media.html
