Please explain... what is bad about Zope?
Zope is not inherently bad. It is however a large and complex product that comes with significant baggage, and especially more baggage than I consider justifiable for an MLM or for sites which have no other reason (or wish) to run Zope.

I couldn't agree more. Zope is a very complex piece of software that I have no use for on my site, and no wish to maintain. I'd really rather see Mailman be able to run with nothing more than python and the Mailman tar ball.

There are very good reasons for doing someething like this, especially for those crazy people like me trying to integrate mailman into a larger, integrated environment. But the point is a good one -- this stuff should be optional, so people running "lake-witchita- friends@witchita.org" don't need to hire someone like me to install mailman..
The default should be simple and straightforward -- and the key is to build interfaces and APIs that allow users to plug in replacement modules for functionality...
