[consulting] Reverse Bounty: og2list - mailing list support for Organic Groups

Not exactly sure at this point, will need to experiment with some teams,
but I'm generally working on the rationale that:

- An OG is the first step, it's the 'container' that defines the
sub-group. Permissioned users can create them, then we manually create a
mailing list. It can do a lot more than a forum, like subscribers,
different content types etc.
- A mailing list, and a web site forum, are then tools that the group
uses. They're 'properties/methods' of the group so to speak

I would therefore have thought that members would certainly be the same.
ie you join a group, and one way of interacting with it is via email.
Which may or may not be recorded on the web site too.

For sure. Any help appreciated. Kinda get the feeling I'm reinventing the
wheel here and coming up with a set of handle bars facing the wrong way.

Cheers

Neil.
