[Mailman-Developers] templating, search, and stuff...

I've manually dug through one too many pipermail archives, so I've
decided it's time to help fix the problem by connecting a search index
to mailman/pipermail. I'm probably going to use mifluz (after I swig a
python wrapper for it). If anyone has this in progress or wants to
coordinate on it, drop me a note.

Also, in fishing through the TODO list, I notice that adding some kind
of templating system is still on there. I want to point [whomever] at
a really easy to use and fast templating system called
Clearsilver. It's a open-source cousin to the template system we used
at eGroups.com and is still used for Yahoo Groups, and it's 'really
great'. I'd love to convert Mailman over myself, but I'm quite sure I
won't find the time. If someone wants to put work into this, I'm happy
to help with some tech support and examples. Of course it already has
a Python wrapper, as much of eGroups.com (and some of Yahoo Groups) is
written in Python.
