I'm not suggesting these new resources, e.g. forums, downloads, links, etc.,
is a replacement for the mailing list.  I agree, and I'm sure research does

This would be in addition to, not in replace of.  We could opt not to
activate the forum, and just use it as an archive for downloads, links, and
faq.
