Hi Christian, This is really interesting work from a number of perspectives. You might be aware that my day job is working on Launchpad <http://launchpad.net> which is a Zope-based open source (AGPL) software hosting service developed by Canonical for development of Ubuntu. As part of that work, I integrated Mailman 2.x with Launchpad, and of course all of that code has been released as part of Launchpad. We did not override Security Manager, since we expose a much simpler (some bug reporters would say *too* simple ;) admin interface to Mailman through the Launchpad web ui. We actually don't expose the Mailman web ui at all. If you're interested in more information about what we did, I'd be happy to provide it. (As an aside, I wonder if it would be interesting to find ways for Launchpad to exchange information with the forges?) Your patches are to Mailman 2.1, but that version is in maintenance-only mode, so we wouldn't be able to apply them to upstream. Our focus is on Mailman 3 and I would be really interested in any feedback and experience you might have integrating that version with the forges. >I know there is also some work made to integrate mailman and forge >forums, we would like to deal with too. I'm very interested in this work too. >Our next step is to make mailman a forge plugin to demonstrate how it >could make easier to use mailing lists in forges. I intend to work on integrating Mailman 3 with Launchpad sometime in the next six months or so (I'm temporarily working on a different project at Canonical). I suspect that the work to do this will have some overlap with your work. -Barry
