I've been sort of casually looking for alternatives to Google Groups. I subscribe to and/or help administer a number of groups there. There are a large fraction of us who only ever use the email interface. There are others who would leave (or get out their pitchforks) if the web interface wasn't available. A couple of the groups are fairly large, 3000-4000 subscribers, with archives dating back ten to twenty years. Functionally, Google Groups is fine, but well, it's Google, with all that implies. Most of the time everything is okay, then they make a change to the web interface and all hell breaks loose for a couple weeks or months until Google gets around to fixing the breakage.
I've been keeping an eye on Groups.io (subscribed to its group managers list). It's not free, and would cost at least $2000/year for the bigger lists. They have a donation interface to make it easier for list admins to solicit donations to defray costs, but it's not clear that always works as desired. The messages to the group managers list seem to imply GIO has various other warts as well. (It does have a clever #hashtag-in-subject feature for tagging related messages.) So, I got to thinking... Are there any free web user (not admin) interfaces which integrate with MM3? Something which when combined with MM3 could conceivably be an alternative to Google Groups, (the now defunct) Yahoo! Groups, or Groups.io? I poked around the archives a bit and browsed list.org for a few minutes, but turned up nothing. Or rather, all I found related to web interfaces was the admin interface.
