Hello,

[in short]

is there a way to keep a forum synchronized with a newsgroup and vice versa?

[detailed description]

I am going to initiate a open source project at eclipse.org. Eclipse.org hosts newsgroups to support the communication between open source developers and the users. I am not to happy with the newsgroup format because I think it is a obstacle to new/novice users. I have a DNN based web site that documents the development of the open source component. I also added the Forum module to my site.

Now messages posted to the newsgroup should be also visible in the forum and vice versa. Also answering to a message from the newsgroup in the forum and vice versa should be possible.

Can this be done with the Forum module?

Thanks in advance!
