The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["S. Woodside" <address@concealed>]

Hi there,

I'm a refugee from mailman. I just got so tired of dealing with its  
needless complexity and terrible web interface etc etc. Plus I could  
never get virtual hosts to work properly in mailman ... I had to hack  
it to get RSS feeds ... and it seems to no longer be under active  
development.

So I decided to try sympa and I like it! I used the sympa package on  
debian... it was almost, but not quite perfect install. These  
instructions helped me a lot:
   http://deb.riseup.net/lists/sympa-server/
   http://www.open-organizations.org/view/Socialtools/StandardSympa

And I was able to get multiple virtual robots going without trouble,  
set up lists, making everything work with postfix, etc. Then I went  
to the web interface and (groan) noticed that it was all nested  
tables ... so 90s ... so I went online to look for a complete  
template replacement and discovered you have already make a complete  
rewrite of the interface for 5.1! And it's beautiful CSS! Also sympa  
5.1 is that it looks more and more like have the good BB features.  
Being able to view a whole thread at once (full text) would be nice.  
But at least I can reply and post messages online. And of course it  
has RSS, and a single user login for many lists.

I really want to upgrade to Sympa 5.1 but I prefer to use debian  
packages. When will it be available for debian?
