Yahoogroups

[Halloalex]

Hi,

I consider to install Mailman on my server to host several
communities. But unfortunately up till now Mailman is
only designed for mailing lists. So it doesnt offer the
possibility to upload files, etc. To be honest, I also think
that the design of Yahoogroups is more userfriendly. Has
anybody ever thought about to enhance Mailman, so
that it can compete with Yahoogroups?

Greetings from Alex,
who appreciates every hint in this direction

Sure. Introduce me to the VC with money burning holes in
his pockets and I think we could do something killer. :)

Well, unfortunately I am just a poor student with basic
computer knowledge and all of my websites are non-profit-
projects. So I guess I am not really helpful for you. However,
if anyone develops something like Yahoogroups or maybe
knows a company that already offers such a script, please
inform me. For a stable version I would not even hesitate to
pay - lets say- up to 350 to 400 US.

Regards,
alex

Competition for YahooGroups should be a priority. There are
a number of applications that currently exist and can be
combined to produce a similar product. The weak link
however is a userfriendly Web interface. Create a Web look
and feel like Snitz Forums with the power of Mailman... this is
the first step to building a true alternative for YahooGroups.
