Dear Mailman Developers Affinity Mailman is our new admin interface for Mailman 3 and we intend to use it to replace Postorius.

Just to be clear, Brian has the full support of the GNU Mailman project in his endeavor to create a new web UI for Mailman 3, but "our" above means Brian and EMWD, not the GNU Mailman project.

Re: New Admin Interface for Mailman 3

by Andrew Bernard

Hello Brian, Bravo. I applaud this initiative. Not that you may be concerned, perhaps, but Affinity is the name of a very popular and excellent Photoshop alternative. They obviously don't own the name, but you are always going to sort well below them in terms of SEO and so on. All the best for this great idea.

New Admin Interface for Mailman 3

Tomorrow a PHP developer will begin work on > brand new admin interface on my behalf. Here are my goals: I do have some comments. :-) Before any details, I'll say the core developers applaud this effort. Though we'd like to think Postorius and HyperKitty are great as far as they go, we've always believed that there are many uses cases for Mailman they can'… [View More]t serve well. That includes but is not limited to close integration with integrated platforms such as cPanel and ticketing systems. > 2.

I encourage you to think carefully about that, and to prioritize the cases you know very well, such as the needs of hosting service administrators. I won't be surprised if you make a lot of ordinary users (subscribers) happy too, but don't get overambitious. > 3. To reveal everything that Mailman core has via the new admin > interface I myself am not sure why, but Barry has stated that it's hard to do this, at least in the face of current pace of development of Mailman 3 core. I love Barry and deeply respect his judgment, but I find the idea itself offensive :-), so dealing with it on the core side is on my own TODO list. Let's cooperate! > and perhaps to bring in additional features such as the ability > to migrate a Mailman 2 list into a Mailman 3 list from a browser > interface. This is already possible in Postorius and HyperKitty for "well-behaved" Mailman 2 lists. Unfortunately I don't have a definition of "well-behaved" (yet, and I don't think it's easy to do). :-/ OTOH, from our point of view, this is a site administrator decision, so doing the conversion at Mailman 3 installation time and the site administrator's convenience is the logical process. Do you have a specific use case for this? Do you have users (list administrators or virtual domain administrators) who want to try Mailman 3 lists but continue some of their lists with Mailman 2? (I still think this is unlikely to be something core development would prioritize, but I'd like to have real data about it.) > 4. To bring in the use of stats that a list admin would like to see > such as overall number of list members, which list is generating > the most bounces, subscription/unsubscription rates, etc. These are surely going to require core-side features. Speaking for myself, they are desirable features, and I'm pretty sure the core developers will agree. These features (and more) are already implemented in the Systers forks of Mailman. I can introduce some of their developers (if interested, let's talk off-list, I don't have names and contacts off-hand). > 5.

Again, this is going to require cooperation from core. We have a feature called "list templates" for Mailman 3 in core, which we intend to expose fully in Postorius and populate with common templates. Ask Abhilash, who knows it best I think. > The name of the new admin interface: Affinity "Affinity for Mailman [3]". I like it! Steve [View Less]

Disable Postorius

by Brian Carpenter

In our development work of Affinity, we are testing out the use of Hyperkitty. HK requires gunicorn but we can't get gunicorn to start because it is looking for a module name Postorius. I have Postorius commented out in settings_local.py and settings.py. Gunicorn still won't start. How can we start gunicorn without the need for having Postorius installed? -- Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for your business. We appreciate our clients.
