Bug Description

The lists that were present before moving to Systers Mailman setup are not compatible in some aspects.

This is probably because the attributes dlists_enabled, questions, essay_enabled and fullname_required are all added by Systers and not . So, for example, one is not able to subscribe via the web interface.

I notice there is a script called migrate in bin/. Could it be possible to create a web interface to migrate the lists?

Also if one tries to use an older version list, one is greeted with the Bug Page of Mailman and a ugly stack trace like show below:

http://pastie.org/887171.

It would be more friendly if it just said that this list needs an update or just continue working in normal backward compatible mode.

Hi,

I am interested in working on this bug. I just need to ask one question before proceeding. There is already a migrate_old_lists.py. As I understand, the purpose of this ticket is to make a web interface which would use this file. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Please get back to me on this soon so that I can get started.

Thanks,
Garima Ahuja
