Looking for good mailing list/forum software
Oh, I'm a fan of the venerable Mailman for open collaboration lists. But what to use when you need something more than gluing on yet another list server instance and calling it "project collaboration"?

Do you know any good integrated mailing list/Web-based forum application? Must be 100% FLOSS and run on Fedora or RHEL. :) Should stand-alone, rather than require a monolithic application around it. If you do, email me.

Many modern collaborative Web-based tools include forums with a Web user interface (WUI). Over the last year, as I've been researching and talking with developers, one thing has come clear about that trend -- they suck. No one prefers a WUI over a mail client. The forums are useful for interacting with customers/users, but for highly interactive, distributed collaboration, mailing lists are still the best tool.

Wouldn't it be great to have that WUI forum interface connect directly into the mailing list? The customer/user-types who want to post a question and read responses on a Web forum, let them. The developer-types who are going to answer, discuss, and collaborate on a mailing list, let them.

There are plenty of tools to look through, and I'm doing that but not finding this combination yet. If you know of one or several that match that description, let me know.

Thanks lazyweb! Many minds make for better research.
