What I was really looking for is what the original poster asked (and what this thread subject is). I'm building a new home for an active Yahoo Group, a lot of the members read and post to the mail list exclusively from the Yahoo Group. I haven't found anything that would let Mailman (or any other mail list software) do the same thing.
I only asked about the News Gateway because it was mentioned as a standard Mailman feature, it seems like a Web Gateway would be a lot more popular.
Any Ideas?

I've searched for information on the Mailman-to-news since I'm looking for a way to allow answering list messages from the web also. Is there documentation online about this? Does it require running a private news server?
Yes, or at least working with a news provider that allows you to add newsgroups--though in the latter case you've got to deal with a wider audience.
I think what the other poster was recommending was using newsgroups *instead* of a web forum. Otherwise, once you've got the newsgroup running you still need to create the Usenet-Web gateway software. We've done it, but it required programming (I don't know if there are any off-the-shelf solutions for Usenet-Web gateways).
