I second the StackExchange suggestion if the mailing list and forums are going to be replaced by one system. StackExchange sites are much easier to search through than relying on Google to look up things in the mailing list or forums. I think it'd cut down on repeat questions a lot (how many users here have been told by a more experienced OSG user to go back and search through the lists because the question being asked has been discussed before? I know I have!)
It's also much easier to integrate code snippets and images to provide better questions and answers. There are plenty of OSG questions on StackOverflow so one can get an idea of how that kind of site would look. Regarding user registration - I never really understood the point of having your full name being a mandatory thing for the forum sign up. Is it a courtesy thing? Is it to prevent spam?
