It's already been implemented.

Check out Squishdot (http://members.tripod.com/squishdot ,
http://www.squishdot.org) a Zope product based on Confera.

There are several sites that use Squishdot already, like my own FIAWOL
(http://fiawol.com) and Bruce Perens' Technocrat (http://www.technocrat.net),
and many others.

There are two other products yopu should check out: KM|Net News, and the
not-yet-released update to Confera called ZDiscussions.

HTH,
