The easiest way to do this would be via a mailing list
which users
subscribe to; however, mailman's interface isn't really very obvious
for someone who's just looking to sign up for something. So, it would
be nice if something could be added which would handle the initial part
of the subscription when the user enters their email address into a
(simple) form, and they just have to reply to the mailman email to
subscribe.
Is there any chance of something like this being done, or does anyone
have any other suggestions on how to handle it?
Why would you want to use a full blown MLM system? You wont need
archiving, you wont need moderation, you wont need, well damm near
anything beyond the most basic mail-to-a-lot-of-people abilities. It
could be done with a very long alias :) Users have exactly one option:
get the mail, or not. Make it a mediawiki preference.
