I am very happy to announce our new wiki!
If you go to wiki.list.org you will see our shiny new Moin-based wiki. We are
retiring the old Confluence-based wiki at the end of February. Until then,
you can access it at old-wiki.list.org.
Our very huge thanks go to Paul Boddie who did the amazing conversion work,
almost single-handedly reverse engineering the Confluence dump through several
iterations. Of course, our thanks also go to John Viega, owner of the
list.org domain and Mailman's inventor for helping us get the DNS flipped
over. Thanks too to everyone who gave feedback on the new wiki, contributed
to the old wiki, and continue to help edit this important resource for the
Mailman community.
Our thanks also go to the Python Software Foundation and the PSF
infrastructure team for providing us with the virtual machine hosting our
new wiki.
If you had write access to the old wiki and want it again for the new wiki,
you will have to re-submit a request to mailman-cabal(a)python.org. Please be
sure to register with wiki.list.org and provide us with your user name.
With this conversion, I am happy to say that GNU Mailman is finally fully
hosted on free software. While we appreciate the years of service donated to
us by Atlassian and Contegix, it's important that we set an example by
utilizing an entirely free software stack for our development and outreach.
The wiki was our last remaining non-free bits.
Let the gardening begin!
Cheers,
-Barry

P.S. We are working on the SSL certificate for the new wiki. Stay tuned.
I am pleased to announce the first release candidate for Mailman 2.1.19.
Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is recommended.
This release has several new features, some newly implemented and some
backported from the now truly defunct 2.2 branch - there is nothing left
in that branch that isn't in this release.
There are also bug fixes.
See the attached README for more details.
Associated with those changes are many things that have i18n impacts
including new and modified strings in the message catalog, a new
adminaddrchgack.txt template and a minor change to the
admindbdetails.html template.
I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in translations of Mailman
to get this release and help with updating the translations.
I plan to release the final 2.1.19 release at the end of February, and
it would be good to have as many i18n updates as possible by then.
Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and
e-newsletters. Mailman is used for all the python.org and
SourceForge.net mailing lists, as well as at hundreds of other sites.

I will soon be packaging and announcing the first release candidate for
Mailman 2.1.19. The details of changes since the 2.1.18-1 release are in
the attached README.
The reason for this heads up is there are many things in this release
that have i18n impacts and I want to give as much notice as possible of
these changes so that people who are interested in updating templates
and the message catalogs for a particular language can hopefully get
their changes in in time for the final release. If you are interested in
helping with this, whether or not you are a current translator, see
<http://wiki.list.org/x/MQ>.
Many of the changes have to do with the fact that for several years, I
have been maintaining the officially defunct 2.2 branch in parallel with
2.1. This branch had a number of features and fixes that had never been
put in the 2.1 branch because of their i18n impacts. I have now decided
to backport all those changes and finally abandon the 2.2 branch. These
changes affect the message catalog and add a new adminaddrchgack.txt
template and make a minor change to the admindbdetails.html template.
I have also implemented new features that weren't in the 2.2 branch, but
add new strings to the web admin UI.
See the attached README for more on what all these changes are.
The mailman.pot message template has been updated with all these changes
and msgmerged with the various mailman.po files. All of this can be
retrieved from the bazaar branch at
<https://code.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1> at rev. 1520
(or later).
