Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this
directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98
directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin
repository.

Some of the options control +how Mailman interacts with your environment, and other options select defaults +for newly created lists<a name="tex2html5" + href="#foot733"><sup>5</sup></a>. +There are system tuning parameters and integration options. + +<p> +The full set of site-wide defaults lives in the +<span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/Mailman/Defaults.py</span> file, however you should +<strong>never</strong> modify this file! Instead, change the <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file in +that same directory.
