Yep.

Yeah, you should not really develop anything like that anymore. The CST has 
also a flexible data storage plugin mechanism as far as I know.

Nope, since I do not store any data structures, I cannot add any data. 
Until now I used the list's description as the title.

>2.  Is there a way to remove the "RENAME" button, since it is not allowed?

Mmmh, I dunno. Since we just use the ZMI standard. I guess we could turn a 
permission off, and it would disappear; I will look at the code.

>3.  We need to notify users that they cannot RENAME a list once created

Mmmh, yep. But maybe we should support list renaming... Not yet so.  We 
also need to turn of "copy".

>4.  I cannot find where I change the "default settings"

You cannot change them, since they are stored in a python file. Mmmh, I 
need to talk to Barry; maybe we can, but it will be some non-Zope specific 
work.

Well, I just copied the regular Mailman functionality here. I dunno whether 
our version should behave different. Maybe the full name would be a good 
idea, but I would support this format:
Stephan Richter <[email protected]>

Okay, there we still have to add Error Handling then. This should make it 
on the TODO list.

:-)

Yeah, I guess we could add this to the link. Is ALT in LINK HTML 4.0 
compatible.

>2.
>well, I need to go play father for a little.  I will get back to this list.

Well, then do this. :-)

>As far as the GUI...am I working on the management tabs or something else?

Nope, the management tabs will be it. Basically you create a template and 
then we apply it to all the screens.
