I think Ashik's idea make more sense rather than having Drupal+Mailman. This is mainly due to the type of threads handled in this group. Most of them are question & answer type and if we follow the stackoverflow style, then it would be really useful for people to locate the correct answer. I don't have much experience in Python programming, but can help in testing & validating the application @onesimpleman Please don't top-post.
