Having a place to see who is doing what and what help they could use would 
be nice. If the project leads could post info on what a person should look 
at; API, task specifications, sample files, and sections of code, so one is 
acquainted with the task, that would probably be useful.

I don't use my news reader much. I like getting new posts as email. But, I 
do like going to a site and being able to search and view an archive of 
discussions with threads. If you can set up the news server to send new 
posts as email that would be great. I prefer each new post as a separate 
email and not a days worth as one digest. But if you can do both, you will 
make more people happy. I think egroups does all these things.
