Cool.

I am willing to track a list for user interface requirements (yeah, yeah,
I know it's a domineering term, but it maps well to the input phase), and
serve as a focus for a simplified and task-oriented end-user and
administrative usage model.  I know we won't get there in a single
release, but since it's what I do for a day-job, it's an area I can add
value.

Y'know, as of a month ago, I was totally over Mj2, even though I've been
following the -workers list for years.  Since I've contemplated other
alternatives -- mailman, a few commercial products -- I see how well
things have been implemented here, and want to adopt Mj2.  (Please count
this as a voice toward getting a 2.0 beta -- or even better in some ways,
an Mj2 1.0 beta -- out soon, despite the fact that I desperately need the
UI work to move ahead as well.)  But it's going to take the simplification
of the UI to get there, and I'm ready to help.
