  Wait a minute.  You had stated that the server "hive" is being
upgraded in early March, and the server "rogue" will be upgraded a
month or four after that.  My understanding is that hive hosts the
main website (Apache, TWiki), while rogue hosts the mailing lists.  If
so, that implies that the mailing lists can wait another month or two
if they have to.

  That being said, I'm all for getting everything GNHLUG off rogue and
hive and out of your hair as soon as possible.

  I agree.  We're better off migrating from mailman on the old server
to mailman on the new server first, and then doing any
mailman->whatever migration (if any).

  My thoughts exactly.  :)
