Repeating what I already wrote for completeness here: Migrating and
then going back all at once is not necessary. You can migrate bit by
bit, although it may require a little bit of manual fiddling if you
get to the point of installing both on a production server. By
"little bit" I mean installing in {/usr,/var}/lib/mailman3 instead of
{/usr,/var}/lib/mailman where Mailman 2 probably lives.
I have to admit I haven't installed into one of the standard
hierarchies yet; I run my Mailman 3 lists (all test or
non-mission-critical) out of a Python virtualenv in my home directory.
Re installing betas from source:
I wish I could say, "oh, just try it, you'll like it", but building
from source isn't as automatic as I'd like. It's not a huge extra
effort (ask here), and I have had it install (a few commits back) with
just "bzr clone ...; python bootstrap.py". I just prefer a reliable,
completely turnkey package when recommending to "pure" beta testers,
and it's not quite that yet.
If you do try it, be warned that a couple of tests may infloop (for
reasons unknown), although only under some circumstances.
