If it is just HTML, PHP and CSS I volunteer. I don’t tread in JS but if it is a light requirement I suppose I could. I don’t mind including JS in the page, I just don’t know it enough yet to maintain or debug it.

Curiously, why does the built-in Mailman link to search return a 404? or is that supposed to link to a custom page? (I used to admin a list but it has been a while)
