What is the best way to integrate a mailing list with MediaWiki? The aim here is to run a mailing list for a website running MediaWiki where the website subscribers can opt in and out either during registration or afterwards, or register with the mailing list without having an account on the site. Has anyone implemented this? Are there plugins that will help with this setup?

Thanks, Waseem

I think you should set one of them as the "master" account. In your case I'd make all users register on the wiki and add an extension for handling the email. Although you could also make mediawiki accounts based on the mailing list users with an AuthPlugin http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin

If you want users to have either mailing list or mediawiki account, they are independent. I don't see the integration in that case, so just run both programs.

An extension to integrate with mailing software would be interesting, though.
