In one of the comments to one of the answers to "what should the FAQ
contain", William proposed asksage as "a better sage-support", and I'm
in favor of this (with the allowance of some novice developer
questions).  Here's the link:

At asksage there is a "subscriptions" button on each user's profile
which allows one to get email for new posts. It also allows one to
filter what email they get, and how frequently.  I suspect there will
be a surge of interest in this about 1 week from now, since that's the
default setting for new users.

I don't know if there's a way to *answer* questions by email, and
there is likely no good way to vote, comment, etc. by email, but at
least those who prefer email could get instant notifications of new
questions and new answers.
