Initial Comment:
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

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.

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

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