	I have no problem with this.  IMO, we should have a place where 
requests of this sort would properly belong, even though they aren't 
paying jobs.  But that's just my personal opinion.

	It's funny.  A totally different question regarding integration 
between Mailman and Plesk finally lead me to create FAQ 6.15 at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.015.htp>.

	Only now that I happen to be looking through my Python-related 
e-mail for other things, do I come back to this and realize that 
you're talking about the same sort of thing -- only you're talking 
about fixing the problem that we cannot (today) fix ourselves.

	Of course, when you're talking about simulating the functionality 
of Yahoo!Groups, there's also FAQ 1.26 at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.026.htp>.


	Speaking only for myself, I would very much like to see us get to 
a situation where we can eliminate these two FAQ entries, and 
basically "just make it work".  I think this would be a huge benefit 
to the entire Mailman community.



	I can't help you with the Python coding, and I don't know squat 
about Plesk, but if you need help with Mailman administration, please 
let me know.

	I'm willing to step up and do what I can to help towards this 
goal, and I hope that other people on this list are willing and able 
to do the same.
