Re: Python alternative to Google Groups
Ah, I wasn't referring to Google Groups newsgroup/usenet connection, but if one wanted to host open source based online groups themselves that are similar to the web experience with Google Groups overall. While folks who just want a mailing list are well served by Mailman, Sympa, and others ... for our organization we need to compete with user expectations from Facebook Groups more and more. We'll we can't compete on features, but we can make our web experience simple and more visually pleasing so the web-centric users stick with us. This is an example neighborhood forum we host - http://e-democracy.org/se - our reality is that if someone creates a Facebook Group in the same local community, we see sharing types migrate there due to the visual experience and baked in mobile sharing options. So our investments in this open source tool could benefit those who see the need to host online communities on their own site where they can innovate further. Thanks!

Thanks. For many of us, an important service is NNTP, offered by GMane and others. I think I'm unlikely to try GroupServer unless it also offers an NNTP interface to forums, allowing me to integrate them into my existing interface (intead of needing to visit yet another web site). You can implement an NNTP interface to the GroupServer groups, by following RFC 3977 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977>. The Papercut project http://pessoal.org/papercut/> produces an NNTP server in Python, released as free software. > Our non-profit is a big user and just released our mobile responsive > design - http://forums.e-democracy.org We are looking to collaborate > with other orgs and developers.

This list doesn't use Google Groups directly; Google provides an interface to comp.lang.python on Usenet, so something like this would have to be *in addition to* the mailer and Usenet. -- CPython 3.4 | Windows NT 6.2.9200 / FreeBSD 10.0 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python alternative to Google Groups
If you are looking for an open source alternative between Google Groups and Mailman, I wanted to share: http://groupserver.org It has recent release and new design. Key is the assumption that any user can publish/reply via email or the web, not just receive email alerts for posting via the web.
