Ah, people ask for it; cool.

Yes, but I felt like it would be a a one-man show , so I stopped until 
others would contribute. Really, the hard part is done.

Also, I am actively working with Barry on Mailman 3.0 now; it will be cool. 
It will be built on Zope 3's component architecture. It does not need Zope, 
but can be plugged in to Zope without any hassle.

Well, ZMailman expects the Mailman 2.1 interface. No doubt.

BTW, what people expect from it? I just did the project for fun, wanting to 
replace the current HTML screens with Zope. Also, there are possibilities 
that ZMailman could implement its own archiver or other components, but 
that would be really hard... and I want to wait until MM 3.0 for that.
