One of our organization's current methods of internal communications is a mailing list. For some purposes, it's good enough; for others, not really.

One example of the latter is various documents that should be kept somewhere easily accessible (for months, even years). They are currently "published" on the mailing list, but keeping (storing) them is the responsibility of the individual recipients. Not good, right?

So we thought of using our wiki (currently under construction). Now, one of the strong points of the mailing list is the ease with which it lets people distribute stuff. Say, a person receives a document attached to an email (from somewhere) and wants to let the whole organization see it. Simple - just forward it to the mailing list.

Could JSPWiki help in this? Say, receive mail (with attachments) from the list and store it, as mentioned above, easily accessible? There would, then, be no need for individual users to store such mail...


Thank you for any pointers,
Sakari Aaltonen
