Re: [Mailman-Developers] Mailman 3 vs Groupserver vs Sympa

Hi Kẏra,
Some additional answers, inline below. Most of your questions relate to the web archiver, and Nico has answered some of those. In order to get all the questions and answers in the same place (so people can see which questions aren’t yet answered here), I’ve rolled Nico’s comments into this reply.

I don’t know.
Is full css customization for the web interface supported? Is css customization for the email interface supported?
Hyperkitty supports "themes". I’m guessing you’ll be able to roll your own.
Is there site-side logging? (as opposed to server side) Logging (apart from web accesses) would be a Mailman responsibility. I’m not sure what you mean by "site-side", but perhaps you’re after remote reporting on a domain of yours hosted a third party at a remote site. Again, that’s possible. It could be provided through a web interface, or some other means.
Is there a link to the post in the web interface in the footer of messages?
That’ll require co-operation between Mailman and the web archive. But, if the web archive URL is predictable, then I think Mailman will be able to do this.
Now that users are more than just email addresses, can you request to contact a list member?
Do you mean from their profile page, or from a list of members?
Can users have multiple email addresses?
Yes, that’s a part of users being more than just email addresses.
The Hyperkitty change log for 0.1 alpha says "show basic list info and metrics". Certainly the Mailman 2 logs provide enough information from which useful usage stats could be derived. If Hyperkitty doesn’t provide the stats that you want, you’ll likely be able to get them from the log files.
They’re new. Mailman 2 did have partial support of virtual domains, but there was a restriction whereby no two domains could have a list with the same name: so I can’t imagine that this would be useful.

Thanks everyone for all of these answers!
I've passed them on to the groupserver maintainer who has created this comparison chart: http://groupserver.org/groupserver/features/feature-comparison
There are still some gaps to be filled and perhaps this could be the basis of a wikipedia page and Sympa could be added to the comparison as well.
