[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Mailman/Forge Integration

[christian.bayle at orange-ftgroup.com]

Hello,

We (Coclico-project http://www.coclico-project.org/) have started some 
work on a better integration of mailman and forges

The code is available in mailman bzr at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~melanie-lebail/mailman/coclico/annotate/head%3A/debian/patches/82_extend_security_manager.patch

The code is allowing to overload SecurityManager like it's done for 
MemberAdaptor, it uses extend.py list by list or globally.

This is actually a quilt patch that applies when building debian 
package, but you can also try it by applying it
with patch command

I know there is also some work made to integrate mailman and forge 
forums, we would like to deal with too.

Our next step is to make mailman a forge plugin to demonstrate how it 
could make easier to use mailing lists in forges.

- SecurityManager overload allows mailman to use forge cookie to log in 
transparently from forge to mailman
and give administrative rights according with forge projects rights.
- MemberAdaptor overload allows to subscribe/unsubscribe to a mailing 
list as easily as you Monitor/UnMonitor a forum

Comments are welcome according to your interest on the corresponding 
mailing list, preferably CC to discussions at planetforge.org

Cheers

Christian
