You are rigth. topics should be managed via Sympa web interface. It is 
part of the admin interface we want to improve. Of course it could be 
easier to develop it if topics.conf is replaced by a new table in Sympa 
database. Soap interface for that ? Why not.

I can't figure the relation of include2 with topics ? Do you mean that 
topics should be defined by LDAP and/or RDBMS queries ?

Please could you describe the requested features in the our forge :
