There is currently only English in Mailman 3. We'll begin to do translations on Launchpad, but I haven't hooked all that up yet. It's on my list. ;) -Barry

RELEASED GNU Mailman 3.0 alpha 5 (Distant Early Warning)
by Barry Warsaw 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

Hello everyone, welcome to 2010 and another Mailman 3 alpha release. I'm happy to announce Mailman 3.0 alpha 5. New in this release are additional REST API methods for subscribing and unsubscribing email addresses to mailing lists, and for listing all members of all mailing lists. Mailman also properly handles the -join, -leave, and -confirm email commands and sub-addresses (-subscribe and -unsubscribe are aliases for -join and -leave). A few more command line scripts have been renamed, a 'devmode' setting has been added, and Mailman now searches for its configuration file using this search order: -C config command line argument $MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE environment variable ./mailman.cfg ~/.mailman.cfg /etc/mailman.cfg As always, you can download the tarball from the Cheeseshop or Launchpad: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailman https://launchpad.net/mailman Documentation is available here: http://packages.python.org/mailman Enjoy, -Barry

That's what we want, too, Brother Michael. The difference between you and us is that we believe in the RFC process, we believe in decentralization, and we believe that if we design a better way to do it in that context, software developers will adopt it and users will get the benefits merely by upgrading their favorite software (or changing, if another implementation becomes more attractive in the process).

Re: [Mailman-Developers] adding new features for site admin (webUI)

Dear Dave, thank you for this information. I guess 3.0 will not be out in a reasonable time, and I do not think migration will be flawless from 2.1.x. So I start to add the new features to 2.1.x and I'll make the patch available for the public on a web page.
