Thanks for your reply.
I surely would like to help here. I can provide a linux server (VM) that we can use to test the mailman / mybb combo.
Sounds great. (The caveat being, I don't see a specific situation of Mailman plus MyBB being proposed. The Mailman work is all part of the Mailman 3.0 release. Or are you using mybb as a reference for the concept of a forum rather than a specific tool?)
Only thing needed (or not needed, but would be nice) is to have an A record (fa dev.ovirt.org) pointing to the ip address of the dev server.
Agreed.
Let me know if this is acceptable and I'll setup the vm.
I don't see any problem in general with that idea so +1. Any other thoughts from anyone else? One thing we can chat about is to help with standards and security for a few reasons. One is, many minds helps prevent cracked websites. :) Another is, you can share the setup and maintenance burden with others. Let us know what you think, and what IP address you've got so I can start the DNS change request (Red Hat IT handles DNS for us right now.) - - Karsten

Does anyone maybe have a link to the option in mailman that is being talked about?
Here is the Google Summer of Code project page:
https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/syst3mw0rm/31001
After reading up on the mockups behind that work, I wrote this

Thanks again for not only caring about this problem, but for being willing to help fix it.
Do you want to work with me (and anyone else interested) on trying out the Mailman changes as they come live? We could put up a development environment that pulls in the nightly Mailman so we could try out features as they are developed, maybe even help make it all better. :)

Thanks :)

I thought karsten summarized this nicely. http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/infra/2012-May/000362.html
i think the consensus was forum would be great, but would either need a two-way bridge to mailing list, or a pilot with someone acting as a liaison forwarding information between the forum and the mailing list. also, there is the possibility mailman will have this option built it later which is worth promoting / waiting for if will be available soon.
I still really do feel like it would be a great addition for the community.
