The main concern I have is that I have no interest to receive the 
equivalent of ~2000 e-mails per month to any e-mail address that I 
use. I have never used Mailman, so I don't know exactly what features 
it has. So, I hope that Mailman has a web interface where you can see 
the subjects of the latest e-mails as they come and read them if you 
like. An archive that merely gives you simple pattern search 
abilities is not very good for keeping posted with 
a relatively active group such as Boost.
