Maybe because I am not fully aware of il8n but I fail to see how that is an issue. I know fo other software that uses end user selectable language sets and is highly customizable. Also the fact that a lot of the rest of MM uses templates kind of points to the possibility that the rest ought to be able to as well. :On the other hand, Mailman 3 is a different story. In MM 3 the core :mailing list functions communicate with the outside via a REST API. :Anyone is free to develop whatever web UI they want to communicate with :the core. The web UI that will ship with MM 3 is Postorius :<https://launchpad.net/postorius> and I think you'll find it much more :template driven than the MM 2 UI. I'll have to wit until the good folks at cpanel add MM3 before I can start using that.. :( BTW thank for the work on this. I am not trying to kick your cat here at all, merely sending in feedback on how to improve the product. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
