A tough question. How adventuresome are you?
Well a former boss had a saying that I've taken to heart. "Don't be first. Don't be last." Are there *any* production MM 3 sites up at this point?
There is a big advantage for you in going straight to MM 3 and that is you won't miss those MM 2.1 features that haven't yet been implemented in MM 3. ;)
The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule) seems to apply to so many things, especially computer apps. ListProc is crufty but featureful. Yet for 15+ years it has been running here, list owners have pretty much used only a small set of all the available features. So I don't have any concerns there. And on the plus side, the Google/Yahoo Groups-like features of HyperKitty should be a real win for my list owners and subscribers.
I hesitate to advise you on a path here. There are pro and con arguments for both, but I *think* if I were in your place, I would at least try MM3.
At this stage I agree -- it is worth trying to kick the tires on MM 3. But without a detailed install manual for a typical list admin as verses a Python developer, it looks like it is going to be a slog.
I'm not sure about the pip issue, but how about yum? See <http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#CentOS.2FRHEL>
So far I've been build stuff from source, perhaps for no good reason. ...BC -- =====================================[ bill.co...@unh.edu ]== Bill Costa 1 Leavitt Lane UNH IT -- 1st Floor University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 03824 USA Voice: +1-603-862-3056 No good deed...
