It's an exercise in modularity, a showcase of the latest +features of Perl 5, and should eventually include an actually usable +mailing list manager. + +History +======= + +Once upon a time, there was a mailing list manager called Siesta, +written by Richard Clamp, Greg McCarrol and Simon Winstow. You can +still look at the `Subversion repository`_, `development mailing list +archives`_, `the slides of the talk Richard gave`_ at `YAPC::EU +2003`_, and `the full history as written by Simon`_. + +It is completely plugin-driven, and has per-user configuration. I +still run a few lists on Siesta. + +Fast forward 13 years: Perl and CPAN have come a long way. Can we +write a better list manager now? How hard can it be? That's why I +started writing Sietima. + +Construction toolkit? +===================== + +Sietima provides a bunch of modules you can plug together to make your +ideal mlm. Writing new plugins to add features should be as easy as +possible. It is currently not a "just works" application, though. + +Contributing +============ + +Check out `the source code`_, push your branch somewhere, then `email +me about it`_.
