I'd really love something to sit on top of (or behind) Mailman that
would give me:

Authenticated file storage
Group calendar
Group database

Yes, I know. "Mailman is not YahooGroups." However, I get a *lot* of
requests for this stuff. For now, I use an .htaccess file with a
corresponding htpasswd file which pulls the logins/passwords out of the
Mailman list membership. It requires manual massaging (like if someone
wanted a file deleted, for instance), so it's not exactly an ideal
situation, but... there's nothing else I've seen/heard of for Mailman
that does similar functionality.

When 3.0 comes out, I know that is going to break the scripts I use
(from
http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Setting+up+Web+access+using+MM+list+passwords+-+for+Apache)..
or at least that's what I recall from hearing discussions of changes in
3.0... if I'm wrong, I'm happy to admit it!

But it would *seriously* be awesome if Mailman could have, I dunno,
"plugins" for the lack of a better word, where you *could* extend
Mailman into more of a YG arena if you choose to.

Or, has someone else out there managed to come up with some kind of
frontend/backend/addon for MM that lets you have web content only for
list-members?

Best,
