[LUNI] web forum/mailing list fusion

[Samir Faci]

I'm not sure more you'll get out of have a forum + a mailing list that's not
already achieved by mailman + archives.

anytime I've seen orgs have a mailing list + a forum one gets used and the
ohter ignored.  I also thing it'll be difficult to combine the two, nor have
I seen anything that does it with any degree of success.

Think about it, you post an email on Linux->Server Issues->help me fix
sendmail

what most forums will do is send you an email notification that someone
replied to your thread (which means, i have to delete an email and click on
a link to get the same email I would have just had to click read.  ... or it
emails you the content of the post, in which case it's just a mailing list.
)

I don't know.. up to you guys, but I think you may end up spending way too
much time/effort into something that's not worth the benefit.

just my 2 cents though.
