Yeah, I would love for people to make a more comprehensive TODO list, also 
for version 3.0. That will be the place where you can also add your dream 
features. I (we) can then talk to Barry and the Mailman team about it and 
incorporate it into the development plan.

Yep, maybe we should install some sort of bug tracker. Does anyone know 
about a good one for Zope, so I can install it on the server? (Cool, once 
we have that, we almost have a small source forge. Just imagine; ZMailman + 
CVSFolder (I am working with Steve S. on that) + BugTracker ~= good 
development tool > Source Forge :-)

Yep/

I am Stephan Richter <[email protected]>, a physics/chemistry student in 
Memphis, TN. I am also doing professional contract work for Zope and 
Technical Project Management. I guess I am working mainly on the core of 
ZMailman. I am also the maintainer of the Web Site (no for content), the 
mailing list and the CVS. I try to communicate with the Mailman people as 
much as I can to stay in sync.

Mmmh, we could ask the Source Forge people, but that might piss them really 
off? :-) Of course all the Python lists should be contacted. Barry has also 
a nice section on http://www.list.org/inthenews.html.

That seems to be a nice wrap-up of our goals. This could be some sort of 
mission statement...

Stephan
