Thanks. I'm not really sure what naming convention I would prefer, apart 
from just getting fully functional and suitably fast SQL support in 
there somehow.

ISTR Python 'pickles' and similar methods were what caused a low-memory 
server of mine to take 3+ hours to upgrade using Yum, so personally I 
guess I'd like to dispose of them from Mailman ;-)

Ok, well I did a quick check, but could not find a download link on any 
Wiki's or Sourceforge. I've subscribed to the MM3 developers list, 
though.  I hope it's not too high traffic...

Can someone tell me where to download the MM3 source as-is, or which 
source repository/tags to use to get hold of it so I can put my 2p in 
should I notice anything that could help, or find time to code anything in?

Also, since there does not appear to be anything firm in regards a 
release schedule for MM3, I'd appreciate your input on how (just the 
name of the function I would need to override/rewrite would be enough) I 
might accomplish better integration for a 
"grab-multiple-records-and-return-in-the-right-format" method of getting 
member records, so I can see if there's a way to sanely do so in MM2.2. 
I can't even remember if the MySQL Adaptor works with 2.1 or not?? No 
doubt I could find it given time and picking through code, but I'd 
appreciate a pointer...

It is quite strange, perhaps, but I suddenly have a lot more 
Mailman-motivation than I've had in a long while. Perhaps because I am 
bored stiff of PHP web development! ;-)
