Haven't we already got that on SourceForge?

Most people these days use a news-capable email client, so it shouldn't
be a problem.  I would suggest adding a crosswire.www or something like
that for the requested forum for working on the web page, and also a
crosswire.software.reference (moderated), for filing reference material
like pseudo-FAQs.  We do seem to get the same questions repeated fairly
frequently.

Maybe a news/email cross-posting gateway would be a good idea.  Then
people who like news can read it there, and people who like email can
get it that way.

P.S.  I use a news proxy on my Linux box called leafnode
<http://www.leafnode.org>, and it is pretty cool.  It is as easy to
configure as a news client, and gives me LAN-speed access to my
newsgroups.
