[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 3 vs Groupserver vs Sympa

[nkarageuzian at gmail.com]

Hi Kyra,

The mailman3 team choosed to not implement the wev archive part, but to
delegate this purpose to some dedicated archiving tools.

To achieve this, an archiver interface has been introduced to mailman3.

Several projects have started to implement archives, especially the
hyperkitty project (https://fedorahosted.org/hyperkitty/) which allows some
of the features you ask.

Here are the points i've tested :

web post : OK

web file attach : ok

search : ok

search multiple list : ok
hide quoted : yes

profile page : yes

list usage statistics : per list overview

mailman admin : some features available throught REST API provided by
mailman (i've not tested it yet)

On my side, i'm modifying hyperkitty to add an extension API (plugins)
which will ease the integration of new features like advanced rss or third
party tools integration (branch code :
https://github.com/nka11/hyperkitty/tree/plugin-api )

Feel free to visit hyperkitty project and ask its core developpers for more
information about its basic features

Hope this explanation of the new mailman3 architecture whill help you for
making your choice.

Best regards.

Nico Kara
