+Sounds great, please try to include mailman into the ldap setup, so that a
+registered forum member can also post to the MLs (via the forum ML gw)
+without having to subscribe separately to the ML.
+
+I assume the phpBB3 forum sw has the capability (like most forum sw) to
+define various categories of users so that (if necessary) the posting to
+some MLs can be restricted to specific categories of users (for exampled
+devs).
+
+While I don't think such restrictions will be necessary, including them in
+the planning should calm fears of people who are fear a flooding of the
+MLs by hordes of uneducated noobs.
