Is it? It is, please do! I see a couple of stops along the web u/i configurability track. Most sites won't care and will just use Mailman right out of the box. Others will be content with just tweaking a little CSS to get their colors right. Still others will want to embed the Mailman u/i in their own web pages. And finally, hard core users may want to ditch the u/i all together, writing their own or running Mailman without a web u/i at all. I think we can and should support all of these scenarios. > Genshi has been mentioned a few times.

Please keep it on-list. I'm interested in the discussion too! I forgot to mention Cheetah -- Ethan, did you play with it at one point? Templating the email messages would be nice to have, but it's not as critical as the web u/i. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRjiSyXEjvBPtnXfVAQJFvwP/XrSSoBe3zByYL9YHGUj3N61pq53GajhQ hKsJz1zAaWBmXfChrOvhR4nhJyGFRZ/P+rKT67q4oXkYAgFDJqRpTL8aKupwaw1S C5oV8MPy0yJ7GFUjHaS0WueNYHPVGana1CQQSkkpF0xBxbYyHLQPuZBEf/IXURDG NlnO88zK098= =LEdB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
