[Systers-dev] GSoC Bug Fixes and Mailman setup in Ubuntu 9.10

[kanika vats]

Hmm,
I now remember we used migrate_old_list only during testing period to make
the Systers Mailman lists compatible with the new changes.I never looked at
the migrate_old_lists code though.When priya said:

"In fact, instead of labelling it as a bug, it can be
a wishlist item as there is already an alternate solution to it albeit
a bit less user friendly (using the migrate script)."

I thought maybe that script covers for making the original Mailman list
compatible as well.Even I used to delete all the lists that were created by
original Mailman code.Sorry for the confusion guyz.Anna,thanks for the
clarification ;>
