Good idea!

And just to jump in here, the existing website is probably a good start,
but it needs a PR team portal (where selected people involved in Public
Relations can post/edit the news articles) and an RSS feed based on the
news articles.

The portal shouldn't be too hard; I can probably handle that myself next
month.

I keep hearing about the desire to provide a drive-through anonymous
spamming...oops, I mean "comments" section. :-)  While I agree with the
idea in principle, I firmly believe that the mailing lists are the best
place for discussion if for no other reason than the Email addresses in
use by posters are guaranteed to be valid, thereby reducing/eliminating
spam.  Also, we would need at least two people who would be willing to
check the comments section daily to remove spam and essentially moderate
any discussion/postings present there.

If there is sufficient interest on the maintenance end then technically it
is not hard to create such a commenting system.  I simply don't want to
see another failed forum attempt due to lack of support.
