Re: [OSS] Re: List Info - posting technicalities

Just my opinion and i don't really care as the Mojo system if fine with me
so far, but i'm pretty sure you can start up a MailMan list in parallel
then import all the messages from this forum quite easily. The easiest way,
with best support and bandwidth, is through the SourceForge collaboration
system that most Free/Libre&Open projects use.
