We are using Mailman 3 for the new buildbot-status mailing list and it works well:

https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/buildbot-status@python.org/ I prefer to read archives with this UI, it's simpler to follow threads, and it's possible to reply on the web UI! Personally, I really don't like that UI. Is it possible to have a pipermail-style UI as an alternative? (...) I don't know pipermail. Do you have an example? https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/ :-)

Oh, I didn't know that Mailman 2 archives are called "pipermail".

Well, there are already other archives already available if you want another UI:

http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-dev/ http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel -- using NNTP https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dev-python https://lists.gt.net/python/dev/

And maybe others.

It's really hard to design an UI liked by everyone :-)

I prefer Mailman 3 UI (HyperKitty), I prefer to get all emails of a thread on a single page, and the new UI has a few nice features like "Most active discussions", "Activity Summary", "favorites", tags, etc.

Except of Antoine Pitrou, does everybody else like the new UI? :-)

I expect that Mailman 3 is more actively developed than Mailman 2. By the way, I hope that Mailman 3 and HyperKity support and runs on Python 3, whereas Mailman 2 is more likely stuck at Python 2, no? ;-)
