I've just checked in a work around for the 'created_at' problem.  It 
should work with Mailman2.1a3 and also the CVS version.  Once the 
Mailman release is made we back out the change, but my opinion is that 
we should enable people to play with ZMailman without requiring CVS 
versions of any software.

Next question:  I'm happy to keep working, but I'm not really sure where 
my efforts would be best spent.  What features are we shooting for in 
our first beta?

So far we have list creation/deletion, list option management.  I 
suppose membership management would be the next obvious choice.  Shall 
we go with the folder metaphor and show subscribers as "Mailman Users" 
under each list?  What is the MMUserFolder supposed to do?
