The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Walter Hopgood <address@concealed>]

I’ve been with Sympa for a LONG while - I don’t remember the version, but my 
archives start in November 2001.  Early on there were a few challenges, but 
it’s run so well that I went a couple years between upgrades.

The only thing that I cannot find in the upgraded code is the Shared Document 
space.  It’s nowhere to be found - and I know it existed in spaces before the 
upgrade.  Since I have people coming to me because of Y!Groups shutting down, 
I need to figure out why that disappeared.
