3 & 4 you can't do anything about until I get something up.
(well you could read the web site).
5 you could have a look at.
You don't need to know much at all about phpnuke to do
the incoming mail processing job.
You need to know about one or two tables in the database,
and you need to know how to access a MySql database from
a suitable language (perl would do fine).
Have you done MySql from Perl?
If not you could check that out.

Well, kind of.
I want to set up new mail addresses for the portal so that
mail sent to those addresses gets processed by scripts and
added into the database.

I have now checked with my ISP and know how to set up
a new mail address for piping through a script, so all we need
now is the script!

This also makes the way clear for mailing list syndication.
Which is harder of course.

There's no rocket science here.

I'm trying out the sourceforge task manager right now,
just to see whether it is easy to use and actually useful.
If you are seriously thinking of doing something then
you should enroll as a developer and have look at what I
am doing with the task manager.
Then after a bit more discussion I could assign you a task.
