I like the idea of working to improve the our presence on Q&A sites like StackOverflow. SO is a great resource and much more discoverable / searchable than a mail archive.
One idea on how to improve our presence: StackOverflow supports setting up email subscriptions [1] for particular tags. It would be very easy to forward new SO questions to the user@ list, or a new list if we're worried about the noise.
