	Sorry, I don't recall seeing the previous post.

	You can propose whatever changes you think will be beneficial.

	However, if the developers feel that those changes will be 
detrimental to Mailman or to using Mailman on other platforms, I 
believe that they're highly unlikely to accept them.


	If the changes are felt to be beneficial, then they are more 
likely to be accepted.  If they are minor, they may be slipped in 
earlier during the development and maintenance process.  If they are 
larger, then you are likely to have to wait longer, as more code 
restructuring is likely to be necessary to accommodate them.

	In any event, you'll have to wait for Barry (or one of the other 
developers) to find the time necessary to incorporate them, and where 
you get in this process will depend on their personal priorities.


	At this point, I would suggest getting into the code and start 
mucking about.  Post your suggested changes and why you think they 
should be made, and let's discuss.
