hey folks, someone may want to check out mailman which runs the signups for the mailing list. It appears to not be working ( I tried it too and got the same error).
cheers, nimret ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Aries C <[email protected]> Date: Tue, May 8, 2012 at 6:33 PM Subject: Re: [SeattleTech] Cool Python? To: Michael Frank <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Thank YOU all for your emails. Your sharings are much appreciated. I definitely didn't know about SeaPIG! I did try to join their mailing list, but looks like they have a nasty bug. ;) Bug in Mailman version 2.1.14 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. Content-type: text/html We're sorry, we hit a bug! Mailman experienced a very low level failure and could not even generate a useful traceback for you. Please report this to the Mailman administrator at this site. It's ok though. I think I'e gathered enough stuff from folks on this mailing list for me to talk about. Thanks very much guys.
