Hi guys, I posted this query to Mailman users, and got no response. My boss is going through me for a short cut over this, so I hope you can help.
Basically , My archives don't appear to be updating, and I'm recieving "bogus archive directory" messages from the cronjobs.
Anyone know what might cause this and how to fix? Many thanks
John

Hi all, I'm planing to write a Zope Product that integrates with Mailman. In the first iterations the main goal is to provide users management of their mailing list account. In coming iterations I planing to extend with an administration management interface and archive access (with possible ZCatalog integration).
Are there anyone else doing stuff with Zope? And what I need to consider? Especially how to handle multiple simultaneous management accesses? (When and how do I need to use locks?) Any ideas are welcome?
Regards, Johan Carlsson

We (Digital Creations) have a potential project that would modify Mailman to be able to run wih SQL storage of its information (primarily members and subscription information), which would then be managed through Zope.
ZCatalog integration wouldn't be too hard, honestly.

(Hi Chris,) That's sound like a great idé! I suppost it would be integrated with the Portal Toolkit membership management as well?
ZCatalog integration wouldn't be too hard, honestly. Probably not :-)
As I see it right know there might be problems with multiple users form diffrent thread acquiering a lock on a list.
How is this handled by the cgi-scripts in mailman?

The idea is that you would retreive Zope membership and Mailman membership from a single relational storage. This is especially important with really large sites. So yes it would be integrated.

You could probably us ZClient to bang each message in as it shows up, and instantiate a ZClass. WE've index 18,500 messages in ZCatalog on just a regular desktop Linux box (nothing fancy, mayb 128Mb RAM, though I think 64MB), and retreival time is on the order of 1/10th - 1/4 second for most searches. Now the actual indexing was much more expensive, but done one at a time, it shouldn't be a major issue.
Note that what we're talking about wouldn't be for managing list options, just for membership.

Off course!

So that how it's done. Thanx!
