[Mailman-Users] Mailman roadmap

[Michael Kabot]

I'd like to add a +1 for multiple domain support as well.

When I selected Mailman almost a year ago I remember this feature being on
the 2.2 feature list... Developing software myself I fully understand how it
has moved to 3.x.

At the same time, maybe a limit to what goes into 2.2 so that 3.x doesn't
keep moving either ?

| Right.  I'm not ready to commit to a schedule yet, but it's basically

| You can do this now.  Start an unofficial branch of Mailman 2.2,
| publish it, and contribute some code.  If you surprise me about the
| scope of the changes necessary, we can consider it for 2.2 proper.
| This would be an ideal test of the power of using Bazaar.  If you're
| interested in this, let's move the discussion over to mailman-
| developers.
