When mailman3 will be released?
The snarky answer is "real soon now" ;) We've been in alpha for a while. The proposed Google summer of code project include some things we need before release, including a push on the web interface. Barry can maybe give you a better estimate, but I don't think we're expecting a final release until after GSoC is over for this year. But maybe we'll have such amazing students that an earlier release will be possible!
I'm interesting in coding a dynamic archive software, I already made base one using django for mailman 2 with some hacks (you can look there: http://archives.rezo.net/ ).
My purpose is to create a software that can manager users, and permit them to respond to emails, read private archives, set email aliases(if they use multiple e-mails in differents lists hosted), and some "social" features, like setting an avatar.
This sounds really great! You may find that some of those features, like setting email aliases, might be better packaged up with the other interface work for user settings, but I'm sure if you start with the archives themselves you'll find plenty to do and hopefully you'll get to the more social pieces later on.
Could you look over the use cases developed for the Systers archive project last year and tell us a bit about what other use cases you think would be important for the archives project, or how you'd prioritize the ones we already have?

There's not really a right or wrong answer for this question -- I just want to get more of an idea of how you're thinking about archives and how you expect them to be used!
