Currently, GForge [1] servers have both web forums and mailinglists which I find confusing. I prefer to have one discussion channel that is accessible via web, mail, and news. The easiest way to do that is replacing Mailman's pipermail archiver with my own that would archive postings into the GForge's forums. (The way back, that is from forum to list, already exists.)

I've been digging into Mailman a little to figure out how to replace the archiver but can't really find what I'm looking for: Exactly what do I need to do: Subclass from "Archiver" and implement the "ArchiveMail" method?

The two MM configuration variables PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER and PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER let you define commands which are called to handle mail to be archived instead of using the internal pipermail archiver. The comments in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py prior to the default definitions of these variables give more information.

Would be nice if you could point me in the right direction. Saves lots of time. :-)
