thanks for this proposal! Indeed, an interesting approach, as in the 
beginning, I was also thinking about setting up an NNTP server (which 
could even interact with the mailing lists).

However, the clear feedback I got from users it that they want "a forum 
they know", i.e. phpBB or something in these terms. That's why I am so 
hesitant against other solutions, although technology-wise, they would 
make sense.

It's about the users and their needs, and even if we see things 
different, we should follow their demands to give them a good 
experience, IMHO.

But thanks for throwing this in!

Florian
