I think the help and big button are important.  *We* don't need it,
but one thing mailman has so far been excellant for is handing
to only vaugely computer competant people to handle their own lists.
I have several lists run by folks for whom the height of technology is
using a web browser.  They cope quite nicely.  But I think we're getting
away from that, and they're coping less nicely.  I've already gotten a
plaintive cry of "where did all my users go?" to the new membership
page, followed, after a short explanation of "Ok, explain again everything
after "regular expression"?  Why do a put an asterisk after the period?"

If we don't have an "expert/novice" toggle, then handholding good.
