Specifically I'm going forward with implementing a MySQL-based archives system which can be used as a drop-in replacement for Pipermail which which will also provide the functionalities of a web board and a search engine optimization system.
Can I request that you build this in an SQL implementation independant manner (so one could drop in PostgreSQL in place of MySQL and have it work)?
I have to focus on building this to meet my needs, and my customers' needs... PostgreSQL support isn't among these needs as far as I can see. However since there is a standard for Python database API's, it shouldn't be too hard for someone to replace MySQLdb with the PostgreSQL equivalent, or even make this a configuration option. (I'll welcome patches for making this a configuration option :-)
