There is a module called organic groups in Drupal. I don't have a lot of
experience with them, but basically they can be a front-end to a mailing
list, just like Google groups. And that would mean that the mailing list
traffic would be in Drupal, and could be searched for. With the search
in Drupal you can limit the by category, and the organic groups would
show up as one. With organic groups people could post to the mailing
lists via our site, and also via email.

That is why I did set it up. I do think that we can have the best of
both worlds. Meaning that hard-core hacker like Hamish can continue to
edit the pages in raw xhtml, and on the same time someone else less
familiar with code can edit a page and post a message to the mailing
lists via the web interface.
