Okay, if we start with that, what is the migration plan?  What issues
do we need to resolve?

1) DNS
2) Moving archives, password-protecting as appropriate
3) All list postings being archived into Oracle
4) Tip harvesting, Perl scripts for harvesting and e-mailing weekly summaries
5) Tips going into Oracle
6) Exporting/importing users
7) l.e.o site hosting/configuration
8) Remove dependence on ColdFusion for l.e.o pages, unless hosting on CF box
9) Tracking sub/unsub in Oracle
10) Aliases, virtusertable
11) Mailman configuration
12) evolt.org patches to mailman
13) Access control to lists and machine
14) htdig, or similar, for password-protected archives
15) crontab or logrotate to roll the mbox files over

Lists defined:

   admin, content, desdev, finance, ia, konstrukt, marketing, steering,
   sysadmin, thecharter, thechat, theforum, theheadlines, thelist,
   themembers, thesite, totc

Anything else that I missed?
