I'm not sure where you think money comes into this, unless you are admitting that moving to mm3 requires expensive consulting contracts. I've turned down 2 large orgs that had trouble migrating from mm2 to mm3 and needed a 3rd party to bail them out. Brian, I recall referring one of them to you. So, I guess, money does come into play. Fear is another interesting choice of words. Do you think that the fear might be due to someone repeating over and over that this open source project is dead and will only be in maintenance mode (life support?) going forward? Let's recognize that mm3 has been around for 10 years, and during that time mm2 has been expanded and enhanced over and over. The difference now is that the gatekeeper who was doing that wants to move on, and should have the right and support to move on. > Well fine, then let those hosts take on the > responsibility of keeping Mailman 2 up to date.

I want to take that on, I want to work with contributors to commit their vetted and tested patches into the mm2 branch, I've basically been told to go somewhere else to do it. I think who/m ever takes it on should be part of the Mailman Team. There is absolutely no reason against, and there are certainly several examples for, having 2 or more active development branches in an open source (or closed source for that matter) project. -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
