Hi, Here's a wishlist item for mailman 3.0.
I've no use for "web forums", but it seems that they are here to stay and sometimes a requirement. It occurs to me that if the mailman 3.0 archiver user interface had a "send mail" feature then it would, in essence, become a "web forum". (Especially if the archiver behaves as described in the todo list and displays all messages in a thread at once.) Of course it would need an authentication database but I presume that's already (for some value of already) built-in and integrated with the regular mailing list authentication database. If people want "forum only" access they'd need to turn off receipt of all mail in their user preferences. It might be nice if there was a configurable option that set this property one way or the other by default, as well as giving a new user the option to set the "send me mail" flag when using the web interface to sign on to a list.
