Mailman 2.2 was intended to have a new web interface, but that release
is officially dead in favor of concentrating development on Mailman 3.

The web interface and templates for Mailman 2.1 will not be changed
except perhaps for minor tweaking.

We would welcome your help on the web interface for MM 3. A new
interface will be built from the ground up. Perhaps Barry can suggest
some ways for you to be involved.
