of the existing Mailman backends. Had og2list not been written so og-specific, we could have written a drupal-based backend and gained more flexibility for both initiatives.
Og2list is not very og-specific, at least the mailing backend isn't. the mailing backend only knows about existing recievers which it looks up in a database. It also gets mail to be sent from that database and stores mail for valid receivers in it again.
By writing a consistent frontend and encouraging useful backends, I'm trying to create a framework that would support these present and future use cases.
The scripts created for og2list can be re-used for other applications quite easily. Cheers, Gerhard
