+1 For what it's worth: I bridged MM archives to IMAP once using UW imapd and some scripts for proxying Mailman membership data into something that imapd could use for access control. When I presented it to this list it was generally identified as something nobody (w|sh)ould ever want. I don't care particularly about the details of what happened in 2002 or whenever it was, but I conclude that the much bigger problem than building this ship is choosing a destination. It needs to start with clear goals, because the wrong implementation is easy. -- David Champion • d...@uchicago.edu • IT Services • University of Chicago _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
