RE: What should we do with this list?
Since I said essentially the same thing, I'll reply to this one by saying Jon Paris more eloquently described the problem with forums. They just exist and only get visited when someone needs help. Email to a list shows up and lets me respond if I am able to assist. If all new posts to the forum can be sent by email, that mitigates the issue.

May I ask why? You can sure do a lot more over a web forum then you can a mailing list.
Thanks!

I much much much prefer mailing lists over web forums.
