Hello HantsLUGgers
Here's an idea...
Since membership of the LUG is defined as being subscribed to this
mailing list, it would make sense to link the list with WordPress's users.
In other words, subscribers to this mailing list should be able to log
in to the WordPress site in order to add and edit content.
Does that make sense?
A quick search hasn't revealed any obvious ways of doing it, although
there is some discussion at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2011-June/071787.html
There is also a 'MailMan Widget' for WordPress that does the reverse:
maybe that's the way to go.
Perhaps it would need a regular job to extract the current list of
subscribers from MailMan and use that to update the WordPress user list.
The first problem would be that MailMan just needs an email address,
whereas WordPress works in terms of usernames.
And the other problem would be to find a way to share passwords between
the two systems securely.
If anyone thinks that this is a) a good idea, and b) feasible, please
let me know.
(But I'll be away until Thursday, so don't expect any immediate replies
from me.)
cheers
Chris
