The current state of affairs is not ideal though. Neither 2.2 nor 3.0 has been released, there is confusion in the community as to which version to develop patches for, and frustration on our part that we have divided efforts and not as much community participation as we'd like.
Mark and I have decided therefore to combine our efforts under Mailman 3, and we invite you to join us. Working together, I feel confident that we can have a solid release of Mailman 3 very soon, hopefully by the end of the year. Patrick Koetter and his group have expressed interest and resources in helping jump start the new Mailman user interface, which will be built on top of Mailman 3's REST interface. What do /you/ want to work on? :)
Here's the plan: Mark is going to put a 2.1.13 bug fix release out soon and will continue to fix only the most important bugs on the 2.1 branch. He'll forward port those fixes to the 2.2 branch for the few people who are running it from source, but there will never be a Mailman 2.2 release. For all practical purposes, Mailman 2.2 is dead. Mark will be joining me to focus all new development work on Mailman 3.0.
I hope this brings clarity to where we're going, and I hope that the renewed and concentrated efforts will encourage you to pull down the Mailman 3.0 code or alphas and begin testing and developing for it.
Enjoy, -Barry
