ciphergothThis is an example of a mailing list which is gatewayed back and forth to the Web, so you can both read and post without using email. Do people think it's a suitable alternative for other web-based forums? Because it's apparently straightforward to implement using Mailman, which I have running locally.

Zero knowledge of the guts of LJ required (just as well, I downloaded it once and found it hard going for a perlophobe like me).
