This doesn't sound like a problem to me: it's an opportunity.  Instead 
of having to squish DLists into an existing interface, you've got the 
chance to influence the under-development interface so that it can 
include DLists seamlessly.  So pretend you're defining the interface 
anew: what would be the best way to provide an interface to dlists?  You 
should probably think about the archives interface as well, to some 
extent.   What requirements would you want to communicate to the 
archives team?  You can use the old interface as a starting point, but 
don't feel you have to be stuck in that box if there seems to be a 
better way.

Assume you'll be communicating to teams working on other parts of 
Mailman, be those GSoC students from Systers or other Mailman developers 
such as myself.

But beyond that... can you wait a couple of days?  We're hoping to have 
Systers GSoC folk working on the archives, dlists, and the webui, but 
we're not allowed to say much about any of the GSoC projects now until 
Google makes the announcement on Monday.
