About MailmanWebID

WebID authentication and authorization for Mailman

By adding WebID support to Mailman, this project aims at: (1) providing a simple subscription and authentication mechanism without the need for the user of creating another user/password. (2) producing a mechanism to evaluate a set of trust rules that can be used to decide whether an user can join or create a list, for automated moderation, and granular access control to archives and profiles.
