Recommended reading before upgrading to 3.x ?
I’m running mailman 2.x and I am getting ready to build a new server and migrate my lists to 3.x. For those of you who have done this already, do you have any recommended reading suggestions other than the official web page at

The late Brian Carpenter wrote a bare-metal-to-bootable Mailman installation guide. It's Debian-specific, but most of the changes should be obvious for Red Hat, Centos, or hwat have you. I don't know where exactly it is (no time to look, gotta catch a bus), but it's strongly recommended as far as building the server goes. Search Brian in the mailman-users@mailman3.org archives (I don't recall if he mentioned it on this list).
For the migration proper, I think migration.html plus the mailing list archives are your best bet.
It's a long shot, but if your time frame is something like "anytime between now and Halloween", we may have a nicer migration path (very very very beta, though) at the end of summer (it's our GSoC intern's project, so timeline is fixed, usability is not).
