An associatate of David Champion's, Chris Kolar has been working on
some rather good PDF and HTML based Mailman documentation.  You used
to be able to find it at:

  http://www.aurora.edu/~ckolar/mailman/

but that server appears to be down currently (no ping).  I found
that URL working from:

  https://listtest.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo

(which demonstrates a rather nice patch BTW) as documented in
David's post:

  http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2000-September/005422.html

and his later commentary at:

  http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2000-September/005430.html

I don't know if Chris Kolar is free to release/publish/donate the
work he's done to date (likely for the university), and I don't have
an email address for him.  Either way, its certainly something we
could do worse then model after.

David: Can you help dig up Chris Kolar and some chance at that
documetnation here?  As I recall, it was well written and certainly
deserving of a wide(r) audience.
