I don't know how easy this would be to get together, but can you mirror
the
contents of a newsgroup and send them to a mailing list? As well as
posting
any list mail to the newsgroup? Some people like checking news, some
like
getting mail. There should be a decent way to work them both.
I personally am a moderate. I like to see more than the monthly
announcements, but less than a full-blown 10 email a day discussion.
Having
the discussion archived in a newsgroup would be great for me.
