I haven't had anyone tell me that mailman is NOT the proper list manager for this application yet, so I am still working towards my 11:00 AM tomorrow deadline to have mailman working and in production with several smaller internal lists.

I made the decision not to go production until Barry finished B3.

I've stuck with v1.1 in production systems here.

I also have significant problems with the new moderation interface which has removed significant functionality by showing only an excerpted/truncated version of the held message in a TEXTAREA rather than the entire message. The old format of showing the entire message allowed me as list moderator:

a) To know exactly what I was approving, and thus not miss something untoward toward the end of a message.

b) To copy off the held message locally, for local editing and resubmitting, say with editorial/moderation comments.

The new moderation interface prevents both those abilities, and is not configurable to return to the old format.

Bad stuff.

Barry: If I submit a patch to make this a configurable option, what the chance of getting this in before release (presuming decent code)? I can't use 2.x at all without being able to see the entire message in the moderation interface.

Barry won't do that until this re-send problem is resolved. If your deadline is tomorrow, in your position, I'd call in sick and wait for B3.....

Not a bad choice if he could make it.

That said, he has the opportunity to start out slow (internal lists et al). v1.1 is nto a bad choice for that _IF_ the timing of when he has to import more populous lists (say over 5,000 members) can be held off for a little while.
