Thought I would ask. Djangobb has a great half way feature of RSS feeds for each forum section, which can be easily integrated into ones Mail client or mobile smartphone feed reader.
A good example of what I mean by the RSS feeds can be found here: http://support.djangobb.org/ In a since, a forum for django-users and another for django-dev would spawn two RSS feeds from the forum. Considering the nature of django, a community project could be started to create a mailing-list/forum hybrid. People who prefer mailing lists can still Email a specialized Email address, and their posts will appear in the correct forum section. People who prefer the forum approach can reply to those who use the mailing list approach and vis versa. This can all be done with a custom mailman type daemon in Python which communicates to the Django models to insert posts and Email off replies from the forum to those who use the mailing list counterpart. Who ever is interesting in developing such a project with me, I have some server resources and access to a subversion server to assist in development efforts. Just putting that out there. Kevin.
