I upgraded a (very small-scale) Mailman 2 installation to Mailman 3, and regretted it. I think Mailman 3 will be fine when it's ready, but my impression is that it's not ready. Specifically, while it seems like the core of the system (actually sending messages) works fine, the web interface -- and the interaction between core at the web interface -- is not there. Just lots of odd errors and mismatches, and rough patches. I didn't use it long enough to really know if core is stable, mind you -- it's just that in the time before I gave up on it, I didn't see any problems related to core. Also, much as I love Python, I wish they'd written it in something else. Django for the web interface makes sense, but for core, it seems like anything compiled would have been better. It's a huge memory hog. Wish I could like it more... Eric
