How old is the Mailman project?
The first public mention of Mailman that I know of was at the 7th
International Python Conference in November of 1998. See
http://www.python.org/workshops/1998-11/proceedings.html and
http://myriadicity.net/Sundry/mailman_ip7.pdf. There was also a talk
given at the 12th LISA conference in December of 1998, see
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa98/technical.html
and
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa98/full_papers/viega/viega_html/viega.html.
The official announcement of availability for version 1.0 was in July of
1999, see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-announce/1999-July/04.html.
Of course, development on Mailman preceded these dates by some time, as
explained by Ken Manheimer at http://myriadicity.net/Sundry/MyMailmanRole.
So, it all depends on what you want to choose as the official birthdate
for Mailman.
Is there any historical information? Where?
The WikiPedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Mailman has
some information and links to some other pages.
I'm not aware of any other page that tries to gather together any of the
early history of Mailman.
