Woah, that's a lotta work -- the equivalent of three people
working full time (40 hours a week) for over 10 months!

Just out of curiousity -- if you had that much time to
devote to this project -- why not write something completely
new and better from scratch?  No offense to the people who
have worked on Majordomo or are working on it now -- but I
get the feeling that Majordomo 1.* code is not necessarily
the best place to start (witness Jason's complete rewrite
for Mj ][).

So, like, why not create a completely new product with a
completely new name, anyway?  [Call it 'sparklist' or
something -- and you could also resell your code for whatever
you can get for it, too.]
