Or the Cheeseshop. At least the /intent/ is that third party packages/ eggs could be installed that provide entry points for the plugins that Mailman defines. If that doesn't work in practice then we need to bug the distutils folks or find another solution. I really want to encourage a rich ecosystem of add-ons that don't need to be officially supported or even acknowledged by the core team. The core should be concentrating on the core functionality and providing a robust framework with useful plug points. >> A style is simply a collection of some subset of all the >> configuration >> variables on a mailing list. > > And these cascade, right? They can, other than that I haven't written the code yet. ;) - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkgDW28ACgkQ2YZpQepbvXGe3gCfQ5ZwND9HWHVxFnMOrEzqiFDg tNgAoJr/P3p6tNs7V2g5YLeBCSevIYey =0FGj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org 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
