Hi Terri, I've been watching this thread with interest and would like to help where I can... I don't know Python, so I can't exactly help program, but I've been told I can translate technological info into something the normal person could understand. So what do I have to do to start helping? :) I have some nights/weekends free and I usually try and fill those with paying work, but need some good karma to go with my money! :) Besides, I love Mailman... Best mailing list software I've used! So let me know where I can help! Thanks! -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
