TL;DR - try out the Mailman 3 beta on some smaller mailing lists?
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-announce/2014-April/000191.html
Mailman 3 has a new archiver called HyperKitty, a replacement for Pipermail, so
viewing the web archives of a mailing list is a way better experience - you can
actually see threaded discussions all on one page. (I won't have to link to
gossamer-threads anymore to give people a link to a whole discussion!) Here are
some examples:
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/ - a directory of mailing lists
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/
- the listinfo-type page about a particular mailing list
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/CY2YL6HB5QGP73UHXIBRH7BW4RGJJ4IG/
- viewing a thread within a list
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/VDQZW5BTALEJVWNUMVHDTWCC3ZCS6QGZ/?sort=date
- possible to view a thread flat-style, by date, instead of nested by
replies-to
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/VDQZW5BTALEJVWNUMVHDTWCC3ZCS6QGZ/
- permalink to one message
Right now I'm a little unhappy that I see no obvious way to see the whole
archive of threads for a month, the way there was with Mailman 2 - as you see
in
https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/2013/12/
it's paginated and I don't see a "see everything from this month" button or
link. Maybe this is configurable by the administrator or maybe if you log in
you can set it in your preferences; I haven't checked that.
I also like that people would be able to reply to messages via the web
interface, and log in via OpenID.
More about what's exciting in http://terriko.dreamwidth.org/151005.html which
says:
"Do remember that the suite is in beta, so there's still some bugs to fix and
probably a few features to add, but we do know that people are running Mailman
3 live on some lists, so it's reasonably safe to use if you want to try it out
on some smaller lists. In theory, it can co-exist with Mailman 2..."
So I'm wondering whether we could try this out on one of our smaller lists,
like design or qa or wikitech-ambassadors?
