Well, the mail thing is very practical.
If there's something like a newsgroup gateway I haven't found it yet.
The Newsgroups on ltv.boarde.de carry different content.

And yes, sometimes I REALLY wish we had a nice forum, like
   http://forum.adsl4linux.de/index.php
or
   http://forums.gentoo.org/

They look nice, are easy to handle and easy to search.

No offense, but the mailing list archive sucks big time, it's ugly and 
searching something there is a pain in the a**.

I know, an integration of everything is tricky if not impossible, but 
sometimes (especially when I reach my email Quota of 100MB) I whish we 
had something better....
