Developers of Sympa

[Thomas BIZOUERNE <address@concealed>]

Thank you for your answer Sébastien,

I know we can use the WS to build a new user interface, but we really want to avoid that, because it will take too much time to develop all the features allready available in WWSympa.

Indeed, our aim is just to simplify some features (not so many customizations needed).

Thomas.

Another approach could be to design your own user interface, and then
use the SOAP webservice to interact with Sympa:
http://www.sympa.org/manual/soap

This also have the benefit to be a more flexible solution, which
allows tighter integration with your web portal.
