[Mailman-Developers] a success! from 2.0.8 to 2.1b1 :)

[Mentor Cana]

I would like to report a succesful upgrade from 2.0.8 to 2.1b1. :) Besides
for some small things, the upgrade went fine; per list options and per
subscriber options migrated all fine. Obviously, I had to create the
default site list, regenerate the aliases file, make sure that qfile/ was
empty, go through the mm_cfg.py (which I still have to do more work for
fine-tuning), did a backup on few files (in addition to tar-in the entire
installation of mailman2.0.8; which does not seem I will need :)), an few
other maintenance things.

Here are few 'problems':

1. logs/error file logged bunch of errors [see bellow] about corrupt list
   config files. nevertheless, the lists got upgraded fine.
2. Whatever held messages were in data/ migrated fine. I could approve and
   reject files on various lists. However, one of the lists (my test-l list)
   reports an error/bug when clicking on "Tend to pending moderator
   requests". See bellow for the error. So far I have seen this error on
   one list.
3. The list archives didn't show until I sent a message to the list, or
   until I ran the bin/arch <list-name>.

I consider these few things not to be substantial problems. :)

To MM developers and the support team: EXCELLENT JOB! :)
