The Tracs I've set up for student projects this term [1] are linked to the
Mailman archives of the corresponding project mailing lists.  Adding the
link to the Trac wiki pages is easy, until you have to do it eight or ten
times, and then have to make corresponding edits to /etc/aliases, and...
you get the picture.

Some of my students are therefore going to be looking at adding better
comms to Trac.  Question is, what kind?  Blogs aren't the right way to
organize meetings or ask teammates when they're going to fix that damn
refresh bug; that leaves mailing lists, bulletin boards, and NNTP
newsgroups, all of which have their pro's and con's when you're running
120 projects.  In the interest of keeping things small, we'd really rather
not add more than one...

Thanks,
Greg
