No. There's no reason why a web posting interface needs to interact
with the archives; it can talk directly to Mailman core, and will need
to do so for other features such as authentication, sister lists, and
the like. You get archiving for free.
I think Stephen covered most of it, but I just want to add that I had in
mind that if we do the separate posting interface right, we might be
able to use this as the beginnings of a way to integrate any existing
forum software into Mailman, much like we want to gateway from newsgroups.
That said...
I'm totally ok with this particular project being entirely part of
hyperkitty in the short-term, though, since it'll clearly be a nice fit
there right now and goodness knows I don't want to deal with yet another
django-standalone instance running just to post messages. ;) The only
reason I didn't suggest this be part of hyperkitty in the project
description is that when I was writing up project information, I didn't
know if any of the hyperkitty team would have time to mentor. If one of
the hyperkitty devs wants to take the lead on mentoring this project,
that would work for me!
