2. I'd argue that mailman has also transcended issues of it being developed in Python. It's just the best mailing list manager out there.
   
   Sadly, Roundup won't make it onto that list any time soon. I'm still down around a few hundred downloads per month (I think I once broke the 700 mark - I've only had 11,000 downloads over the 3 years the project's been alive ;)

   It was refreshing to see a non-Java P2P app.
