If there are folks who want to start working on a new web u/i, either
to integrate a new templating system, or to prototype better content
or usability, then in the short term the thing to do would be to
branch Mailman 2.1 and let you have at it. In order to get commit
access, you'll need to assign your changes to the FSF. I can help
you get all that paperwork in place.
Hello! After much absence I am something on the order of back.
I have just landed a contract that will allow me to 'continue' my work on the mailman web ui, and my semester is ending, so I will actually have some time.
Having struggled mightily to find a way to improve templating while not moving to python 2.4 (at least), I have to confess I don't think there's a good way to get there.
I tried a couple of "scorched earth" approaches and I think that was part of why I didn't get something that worked.
Right now, I think the "low hanging fruit" is to rip out all the HTML 'style' markup and make all the style applied via stylesheets.
I would dearly love to have anyone to work with on this project.
... oh yeah, and I will submit my paperwork to the FSF June 1st, which I know is "hella late".
