Mail list manager within Drupal - is this possible?

Hi,

I have been evaluating various mailing list modules and searching for a mail-list solution in Drupal that does more-or-less the following:

* The list basically mimics mailman functionality entirely within Drupal.
* New users register with the (Drupal) site and elect to join the mailing list.
* Any new message sent to the mailing list (via email) is intercepted by the module and is published as a new node on the site.
* Any reply to an existing topic on the mailing list (via email) is intercepted by the module and is published as a comment to the appropiate existing node.
* Any new node (depending upon taxonomy item or possibly node type) is sent to the mailing list.
* Any new comment to an existing node is sent to the mailing list.
* Users subscribe / unsubscribe to the mailing list similar to the existing Drupal mailing list implementations.
* Ideally there should be a type of selection matrix (similar to access control - /admin/user/access) that allows control over the various node and comment options that are published to the mailing list.
* In due course multiple mailing lists may be required, but for now a single mailing list per site would suffice.
* In order to keep the performance level of the server within acceptable levels, the number of emails sent per hour must be configurable ie 200 mails per hour.

Creating a branch from eclipse IDE

I'm trying to create a branch for the 6.x version of a module I'm updating to 6. I'd like to know how to do that from the Eclipse IDE. There is a "Branch" option in "Team", but that only seems to tag, if I look at the cvs output (and automatically adds the module name to the tag, making the Pre-tag check fail). Any ideas?

Thx, F.J.

Taxonomy based category menu in sidebar

Hi,
I have created taxonomies and vocabularies and sorted my content in them, but i need php snippets which will automatically create the a navigation list in the sidebar, much like the Taxonomy_menu module.
Unfortunately I installed drupal 6-x and cant use the taxonomy_menu module.
Any sniplets/ module conversion guides will be welcome.

ps: i don't mind digging my fingers into a little PHP :)

What's different about a Drupal theme vs a standard CSS/HTML layout?

I am curious as to what is entailed in the development of a Drupal theme compared to designing a CSS/HTML skin for another type of site.

Is there additional features to a Drupal theme that you wouldn't find in another type of layout for a non-drupal site?

Any additional skillsets necessary up and above CSS, HTML and PHP in order to successfully design a theme?

Any help would be mucho appreciated.

Kind regards,

Sam

Administrator notification of new user

I can't seem to find a way, either within Drupal or via a module, with which to alert the administrator of the site by email when a new user registers.

Any ideas?

Could not install V6Beta

I am trying to install drupal 6 Beta in the shared host. I am stuck after the input of database info. I decompressed in the root directory where I would love to specify one URL as base_url. It finally stucks with an error message:

Warning: fopen(): Unable to access ./sites/default/default.settings.php in /var/www/html/includes/install.inc on line 180

Warning: fopen(./sites/default/default.settings.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/includes/install.inc on line 180
