My 2 cents (and maybe this is 'cause I'm an old guy), but I don't see the value of supporting yet another Lift support forum. This list is highly visible and the folks on this list of very helpful. The list is searchable (although not taggable). We don't do support on Twitter. We don't officially do support on IRC (although a fair number of Lift committers hang out there). We try to keep the energy and focus on this mailing list.
Please tell me what the advantage to Stack Overflow is vs. a list like this one? What kind of better experience would the asker of a question have on Stack Overflow?
