We find ourselves at the same crossroads, and are in the process of switching to Sympa. While Mailman certainly has a larger user base and good ease-of-use, the currently-released version doesn't do multiple domains with delegated administration, which is something OPG/ QueerNet needs desperately. With Mailman 2, we would need to install a new instance of Mailman for each domain we serve. (And Mailman 3 is alpha and feature-incomplete, and seems to need a lot of Python infrastructure to run.) Sympa has a dedicated and funded development team, a good internationalized web interface, a concept of multiple independent domains ("robots"), and a fair amount of customizability without being the inscrutable Swiss Army Chainsaw that Mj2 ultimately turned into. --Apple-Mail-11-413087971 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <html><head></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; = "><div><div>On Oct 16, 2009, at 3:04 PM, Brent Chapman = wrote:</div><br><blockquote type=3D"cite"><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><span= class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-family: arial, sans-serif; = font-size: 11px; border-collapse: collapse; "><div>A few years ago, I = moved all of the <a href=3D"http://GreatCircle.com">GreatCircle.com</a> = lists (including this one, <a = href=3D"mailto:[email protected]">Majordomo-Users@GreatCircl= e.com</a>) to the never-released Majordomo2 (which is a total rewrite = that I had no involvement with; <a href=3D"http://www.mj2.org/" = target=3D"_blank" style=3D"color: rgb(51, 51, 204); = ">http://www.mj2.org/</a>).
