Comment (by strk):

 I suppose the at the bare minimum posting messages/replies to forums will
 need authentication so the first plugins to consider should be those
 dealing with authentication. Right now mailing lists allow anyone to
 basically register an account associated to their email address. Would it
 be possible to do the following ?

  1. Allow people to authenticate via existing OSGeo UserID
  2. Allow people to self-register with just email (in par with Mailman)
  3. Allow people to authenticate via OpenID-2.0 ? (optional, but I'd find
 it to be the most federative way to deal with authentication)

 What options are there to prevent spam ?
 Should someone start posting spam, how to block and cleanup ?
