Our current GNU Mailman logos were designed by the Dragon De Monsyne many years ago. They have served us exceedingly well, but with the coming of Mailman 3, we've decided it's time our logos got a face lift. So we're opening up a new logo contest to the Mailman and GNU communities. We invite your creative and inspiring designs! Details of the contest and submission guidelines are available here: http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/NewLogo Submissions will be open until February 28, 2010, and is open to everyone, so feel free to forward this announcement. Please contact the Mailman Steering Committee at mailman-cabal at python.org with any questions. Enjoy, -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm happy to announce Mailman 3.0 alpha 5. New in this release are additional REST API methods for subscribing and unsubscribing email addresses to mailing lists, and for listing all members of all mailing lists. Mailman also properly handles the -join, -leave, and -confirm email commands and sub-addresses (-subscribe and -unsubscribe are aliases for -join and -leave). A few more command line scripts have been renamed, a 'devmode' setting has been added, and Mailman now searches for its configuration file using this search order: -C config command line argument $MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE environment variable ./mailman.cfg ~/.mailman.cfg /etc/mailman.cfg As always, you can download the tarball from the Cheeseshop or Launchpad: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailman https://launchpad.net/mailman Documentation is available here: http://packages.python.org/mailman Enjoy, -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I want to invite all interested developers and designers to join in on helping to produce an awesome, modern user interface for the next version of Mailman. I believe we have enough infrastructure in the core Mailman 3 engine to support at least initial work on the WUI. The architecture we've laid out is solid I believe. The Mailman 3 engine provides a REST HTTP server exposing a full-access administrative interface. The WUI will be a separate optional process that sites can run, which communicates over REST to manage security and provide external HTTP/HTML access to Mailman functionality for users, list administrators, and site administrators. All discussions about the WUI can be conducted on the mailman-developers mailing list. The wiki can be used to collect artifacts such as design notes, decisions, and progress: http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Web+Interface (Contact me or mailman-cabal at python.org off-line if you need write access. The wiki is fairly locked down due to spam.) The Launchpad project for the Mailman WUI is here: https://launchpad.net/mailmanweb but there is currently very little there at the moment. Remember too that we are trying to gather critical mass to sprint on the WUI at Pycon 2010: http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/PyCon+Sprint+2010 Enjoy, -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
