Hi there!

A short introduction: I am a MSc student in Information Systems Engineering at UMIST, Manchester, UK, who is now doing my dissertation on applying anonymity in mailing list communication to examine the communication behaviour among participants.

The idea is basically hiding the identity of the sender so that the communication will be based on what is being communicated and not who is communicating in the group. The possible usage in the future might range from decision making within organisation (or network/group) to conflict resolution.

I am interested in Mailman (GNU milist mgt system) to be developed or equipped with anonymity features. Is it possible to add "anonym feature" in Mailman? Can you give me a clue from where should I start? I have with me now the source-code of Mailman (written in Python) together with its documentation.

Cheers, Yanuar ps. I am an NGO activist in Indonesia, where the possible advantageous usage of this feature might be huge among many NGO/non-governmental/non-commercial group that exist.
