ezmlm-cgi.py Project
http://ezmlm-cgi-py.sf.net/

Why? Because I do not know C, but I would like to extend ezmlm-cgi.c possibilities and features with preservation of backward compatibility.

I plan to do before 1.0 release:

• reverse order possibility of each kind of display,
• index of all authors,
• MIME handling,
• semigraphic thread tree display.

I plan to do in indeterminate future:

• searchable archive based on RDBMS.

Done:

• automatic index generation on the basis of extended ezcgirc file, including lists statistics.

Live examples:

• PLD-Linux Listserver,
• Linuxdoc Listserver.

Uncompatibilities to ezmlm-cgi.c:

        ezcgirc:
        - you have to use ";" signes as separators in 
          ezcgirc file,
        - "bannerprog" is not used anymore, instead of 
          this you should put short description of the list,
        - "buttonbar" and "style" are not used anymore, but
          they should be left due to backward compatibility.

Requirements:

	- qmail 1.03,
	- ezmlm 0.53,
	- ezmlm-idx 0.40,
	- at least one list created with '-i' option.

Getting software: SF download page

Installation:

	0. Unpack sources [ # tar jxvf <ezmlm-cgi-py-DATE.tbz>],
        1. Put ezmlm-cgi.py, wwwlayout.py, index.cgi.c, 
           internet_functions.py, form.py, lists.css, config.py
           into your newly created <ScriptAlias>/ezmlm/ directory,
