Something like a ArgoUML users get-together, a chat, or so? I know, the IRC channel exists, but it's not really advertised on the Argo website.

I'd propose something like this http://www.nabble.com/ka-map-users-f16515.html (with a better design) , where forum and mailing-list are mapped to each other.
