Sounds great. Bring a laptop and we'll bang out some code (anyone else up for a mini-Mailman-3 sprint at my house? :). I'll probably be heading to Fedex Field on the 9th for a 'Skins game, so the 8th would be perfect. > > ...as well as implement a bulk mailer to eliminate the need for an > > outgoing mail server. > > Eeeek!

Yep, which makes me nervous, but which does have a certain standalone-ability appeal. I don't want to write it off, and of course, we'll have an interface for this so the first (only?) implementation will be MTA hand-off. > BTW Whatever happened to Michel Pelletier's interfaces PEP?

But there are lots of folks using a more formal interface system for Python applications, such as for Zope3. Just writing the interface down, with good docstrings, goes a long way. > Last I heard Nigel was still running screaming into the hills. Hey, I love Exim -- Greg's done some very cool stuff with it on mail.{python,zope}.org. But man, I find it hard to track down just the right knob I need to tweak. :) > Aye, that's something the Plone folk have been digging at with some > success: a base library of waffle-stomp configuration patterns. I'm not > sure for Mailman if we want just a picklist, or a very simple wizard. I haven't even thought about how to surface it in the u/i -- it's mostly machinery right now. But yeah, a wizard is just the ticket, at least for canned styles (which again, will solve 80% of the problem). Which reminds me -- I'm really hoping we can get some web u/i jockies and CSS geeks in to eventually make things real purty. Dammit Jim, I'm a musician, not a graphic artist. :) -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
