The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Miles,

The pros: the integration with a lot of functionnalities Sympa has not. 
Wiki, Calendar, Chat. And the user interface is certainly wery nice and 
user friendly. It's the modern, web-oriented collaboration-tool and if 
you have a single group with very limited organisational needs, the free 
plan is certainly perfect. Also, you can create sub groups in your 
groups, probably easily. In Sympa, creating a sub list is done by 
including a list into another, then writing a query in the new list to 
restrict its member.

The cons: The free plan misses all the features usually found in maillig 
list fotwares, such as subscription moderations, tracking, reposting, 
etc. Also, one of the features is disturbing : modifying a previously 
posted message. That probably means that it is actually a web only tool, 
or any mesage modification would lad to a repost of modified message, 
which would probably make threads very weird.

I think that, as long as you don't have very demanding needs, it can be 
a nice tool. But as soon as you need to tweak the tool's behaviour, it 
becomes very costly.

Regards,

David
