I was speaking in terms of the practical reality of a 100% unpaid all- volunteer project, like Mailman. There are simply way too many other things going on that are much higher priority.
If you pay certain Mailman developers real money for such a feature, then it will get done. If you write such a feature yourself or get someone else to write it for you and contribute that back to the Mailman project, then there's at least a decent chance it may be considered for inclusion in a future release, although you should keep in mind that it takes a fair amount of time and effort to validate someone else's code, albeit somewhat less than writing it yourself. I don't see any other possible options as far as the Mailman project is concerned. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent from my iPhone On Jan 29, 2008, at 11:17 AM, "Mikhail T." <mi [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > צ×ÔÏÒÏË 29 Ó¦ÞÅÎØ 2008 12:05 ÐÏ, Steve Burling ÷É > ÎÁÐÉÓÁÌÉ: >> I love comments like this.
