Mailman is web based only in reading the mail archives, just like Lyris, but
the web user interface of Lyris is rather unintuitive and unsearchable by
search engines.  You also can't refer to an archived post by URL, something
that works well with Mailman.

Otherwise, Mailman would behave exactly like this current mailing list,
except it wont freak out when some HTML tags are in the body of the message.
(Bug that we noticed a while ago.)

LUAU isn't too bad of a name, but HULA - Hawaii Unix & Linux Advocates is
even better.  It actually has the word Hawaii in it, while remaining a group
neutral list.
