E-mail Lists and Web Integration

["Steven Clift" <slc@publicus.net>]

I have a dream, that someday e-mail lists and the web will walk hand in
hand.

In short, I want smarter e-mail lists to connect with dumber web forums
with clean crisp usable interfaces (database drive archives with "skins"
including a e-list to blog version with trackback, etc.), personalized
content tracking across multiple groups, rss headline feeds, and web-based
features like member directories and social networking options that will
work best on the web.  What I don't want is a system that makes e-mail
users second class citizens and prejudices the system toward web-only
posting.

Perhaps Mailman 3 might be one of the open source paths we can take?  As
they develop their next set of project requirements I encourage you to
contribute your ideas and technical abilities.

explorations of DGroups <http://www.dgroups.org> for some time and has
dozens of links and text on this subject at:

Subject:        	[Mailman-Announce] Mailman 3 development list

I've created a list specifically for discussing Mailman 3 design and
development.  Feel free to subscribe at:

I'd like to keep MM3 discussions off the main mailman-developers list as
much as possible.  The list will be open and will be run with essentially
the same policies as mailman-developers and mailman-users, except that it
will reject posts by non-members.  Sorry, but I think this will help keep
the signal to noise ratio high and it reduces my administrative burden.

I want to give the list a few days to get populated and then I'll start
posting some issues in preparation for the upcoming sprint at Pycon.
