-0 I'm also a little split in this. On the one hand I have not yet had any problems with the amount of community related mails (thank you gmail), but others might use other ways of following mailing lists. I have just had the "pleasure" of being subscribed to an eclipse.birt newsgroup through thunderbird. And that was a really bad experience in terms of keeping track of what was going on because of the way threads are listed in thunderbird. So too many OT threads would also make it more difficult. The user mailing list is also high traffic, so it might be good to filter all non user support threads to another list.
My biggest concern is how to make community meetings visible enough to attract people who might be interested. But perhaps the community section on the front page is good enough for letting people know about community events.
