I've been posting a big pile of patches on the Sourceforge repository.
I think they're mostly stable now.  They're largely cosmetic, so in
case anyone wants to look at the results, please check out

	http://listtest.uchicago.edu/

The "dgctest1" list's archives are public, and completely uninteresting.
I'm using the built-in pipermail for now.  I'll probably change that in
a few weeks to MHonArc.  But first, I'll post more patches to drive the
pipermail HTML into compliance with the rest of the pages, just to be
thorough about it.

All the customization on the site is done it mm_cfg.py or in the
templates files.  I've attached my mm_cfg.py so you can see the config
parameters I've altered.  With the default mm_cfg.py and templates, the
whole thing looks identical to the current default mailman installation.

In particular, one of my patches converts all the hard-coded HTML in
listinfo.py and admin.py into templates.  The "tone" of the document on
this server is governed in mm_cfg, but the textual content, the
"shortcuts" box, etc are in the template.  These are configuration
options I learned to want with our 1.0 installation.

OK, just wanted this to be out there so people can see what I'm hoping
for -- maybe it'll be helpful in deciding whether to incorporate the
patches.  Any thoughts?  I probably should not go into production with
this if there's strong sentiment against it.

"""This module contains your site-specific settings.

From a brand new distribution it should be copied to mm_cfg.py.  If you
already have an mm_cfg.py, be careful to add in only the new settings you
want.  Mailman's installation procedure will never overwrite your mm_cfg.py
file.

The complete set of distributed defaults, with documentation, are in the file
Defaults.py.  In mm_cfg.py, override only those you want to change, after the

  from Defaults import *

line (see below).

Note that these are just default settings; many can be overridden via the
administrator and user interfaces on a per-list or per-user basis.
