Is there any way to coerce the web forum to also handle mailing lists?
Webboard (formerly from O'Reilly) did that, and by allowing either type of
access - maybe even adding NNTP - one could adapt to the particular needs
and desires of the users. And *not* fragment the user/developer community,
which I see as a danger if multiple forums/lists are hosted with the same
topics. If this could be helped by some additional programming resources,
I'd volunteer to help. I think the community makes JBoss strong, and worth
working to protect.
