Yes--if you're looking for community-based mailing lists, MM will not do...
Will NOT do?
Hmm ... okay.
If you look at what people _use_ Yahoogroups for, it's not just for a mailing list in general--it's being used to schedule get togethers, keep track of members' birthdays, et cetera. Mailman doesn't do all that (at least, not efficiently, unless you count some poor schmuck being stuck with the duties of emailing the whole list every week/month/etc to keep everyone up to date ;) ). And, from the past comments I've seen on the subject, it's not something that interests the dev team (and that's fine.. no one said they had to find it interesting .. I'm just mentioning it as this subject has been brought up in the past...
Maybe a future version of Mailman will offer some of those functions.
See above :)
Thanks for your comments.
