The technology used at the moment can not but I could program
something.

I'm not (yet) used to RSS, Atom and the like. Probably also because
I'm often offline when I'm doing work on Oekonux.

Am I right that this would mean some sort of aggregation from the
neighbouring projects? Sounds good :-) .

Ok.

Ok. So an idea would be to feed the comments back to the mailing list
However, there should probably be an approval process for this since
it is one thing to post a comment on some blog and it's another thing
when someone outside a mailing list simply writes a mail to several
100 people.

I'm open for this but we need to check whether we find enough
volunteers for this.

The technical stuff I'll move to [pox]. Anyway I think we gathered a
lot of good ideas and now can start implementation where
implementation probably means an iterative project. I'll come up with
a to-do list on [pox]. Then we can look for volunteers.
