[Mailman-Users] Advantages - Files

[Keith Bierman]

Obviously, since we're all here we've chosen mailman and related tools. But
for a relatively small group of novices wouldn't the old egroups.com (taken
over by yahoo ages ago, but lives on) or google groups be an appropriate
solution? They've got shared file areas, moderation, web and email
interfaces, etc.
