The Arquillian project [1] would like to volunteer to be an early adopter of HyperKitty. We are looking to shift from forums to mailinglists, but not lose a user-friendly web frontend for folks just browsing for information.
We're writing to this list because we think that Fedora and Arquillian share a common goal to see HyperKitty evolve. We can offer to hack on it and promote it if Fedora infrastructure would be willing to give us a space to run a public instance of it. (We're also Fedora users, of course).
We know about mm3test.fedoraproject.org, but we're hoping to be able to point discuss.arquillian.org at to the installation (CNAME support).
We plan to actively work on HyperKitty to improve the functionality and user experience. Therefore, we'd like to request a dedicated instance to give us the flexibility to experiment as much as needed without having to worry about disrupting the other lists running on it. In other words, we want to be bleeding edge for a while :)
Let us know whether this seems like a good fit. Although we are separate communities, I think the common goal of moving HyperKitty forward gives us good reason to work together. Plus, we're really eager to see HyperKitty get used for Fedora lists too.

We are just now setting up a lists-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org instance to use for more development/testing. ;)
We should be able to setup a list for you to test things out with and help with the development. I'm not sure I would say you should fully switch to using this list full time, but it should be good enough to test/devel things. ;)
Hopefully we will have that up in the next week and can look at getting you setup with a test list there. I would think a CNAME would work out, but we will have to test and make sure we can handle that config well. ;)
Thanks for offering to help us out... I am really looking forward to widespread deployment of hyperkitty. I think it could end up being a really important improvement in helping communities communicate.

Excellent!

We don't really have much of a choice. We are moving Arquillian off of SBS ( community.jboss.org) and we need somewhere to land. No one in the community wants to go to the "ugly mailman", so we are jumping in with two feet. This community is no stranger to bleeding edge infrastructure, so we'll manage :)

Great! A CNAME would really help for if/when we need to migrate to another host in the future. While we can tolerate bleeding edge software, no one likes broken links :)

I'm in 100% agreement. Like many people here, I'm on dozens of lists. I either have the choice of a clogged inbox (or some other box) or poking around the archive lists like it's 1995 and seeing the conversations that I can't respond to. Up is the only direction from here :)
