This is what I had concluded. I just needed to hear it from someone more 
expert.

The reason I ask is that, as some of my colleagues on this list may already
have mentioned, we're experimenting with a php (drupal) based interface to
sympa.  We hope to have it run in  parallel to a regular sympa installation:
at first with wwsympa running in tandem.  We'd be working to replace and
extend the functionality of wwsympa over time.  Any extra database features
that we may need would be defined outside of the current set of tables that
sympa uses.

One of our eventual goals is to make the interface as generalizable as
possible so that, with a little work, practically any MLM that uses a
"pseudo-standardized" set of database tables for user and group management c
could be managed using the php UI.  It is still early days in this project so
if this is of interest to anyone or folks have any advice, critique or
warnings, feel free to contact us :-)

We will make the code available once it is ready for public consumption.

Cheers,
