By Google Groups do you mean Usenet newsgroups? It's been a while I
haven't used Usenet but isn't it that Usenet as great gateways for both
web and email integration? If you have a Google account you can use the
interface via Google Groups (but really, we cannot require to have a
Google account to be involved in MeeGo discussions).

An idea to consider. But let me go down to things we can fix right now.

I agree with Dawn that the Forum/Mail thing is not resolved and we need
to have one channel useful for the core purpose it needs to accomplish.
I have personally no problems with mailing lists or forum (I start to
have problems about Mail/Forum discussions though)  ;)

Concrete proposal by-passing the concerns about "a forum is also important":

- The maemo-community mailing list is the one and only channel for the
Community Office coordination - http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Office
coordination. Anything related to Community Office meetings and tasks is
discussed and coordinated there. If you are responsible of a Community
Office task you need to be there. If you want to push your agenda to the
Community Office you have to do it there.

- Every task committed chooses the best channel to get things done. The
default is a report at http://bugs.meego.com, but meego-community,
http://forum.meego.com or else can also be used when they make more
sense. Up to the owner of the committed task.

- Community Office decisions and meeting minutes are communicated to the
rest of the project via meego.com blogs (details to be defined).

- In addition to this, anybody can start any community related
discussion in meego-community or forum.meego.com. For instance, someone
not interested in the Community Office activity can stay in the forum
and forget about the mailing list. Someone interested only in the
Community Office activity can stay in the mailing list and forget about
the forum.


This guideline can be revised when we have a better technical setting,
but they could be implemented right away with the current infrastructure.
