Hello all,

	I've been using Mailman on our web site for open source development of
"serious business software." http://www.greatbridge.org/. We are
interested in seeing Mailman have a PostgreSQL database back end (and
further in the future PHP front end web tools.)  I have been given
permission to start working on this as soon as I have completed my
current project (should be done this week).

	I've started to familiarize myself with the general flow of Mailman. I
have not had a chance to get into the current data handling classes but,
correct me if i'm wrong, I believe modifying the code to use a database
should be fairly contained. In the process of doing this I want to do
everything in a such a manner that is best for contributing back to the
Mailman project.

	Any feedback anyone can offer on this subject would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance.
