I don't know about fa.haskell, but i'm using Gmane (a bidirectional mail-to-news gateway, see http://www.gmane.org/) for most mailing lists and posting this message to gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general. > > > How about a forum integrated with mailing lists? > > > > Does such a thing already exist somewhere? > > Not that I know of. > > How about an integrated newsgroup+mailinglist+forum.

You can read (and post to) the groups stored by Gmane using one of the two web interfaces linked from http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.general , but there is some functionality missing that you expect in a forum like showing only unread messages.
