[AktiviX-discuss] leaving yahoo groups behind

[NorthLondon John]

Hi,

I'm looking for something a bit more than mailman - something with an 
area for larger documents to be uploaded, something accessible on the 
web to all the members, and with an easy interface (ie usable by the 
non-geek).

I'm happy to use mailman - but what could I use in conjunction with it 
to give all the extra bits (nb - doesn't have to be hosted on the 
Aktivix server)

Ta

John
