I personally have a dedicated gMail account for lists, which forwards everything to my main gMail account, and then all list e-mails get filtered into a "lists" label/folder.
<soapbox> Here's some (random) thoughts from a (self proclaimed) listserv veteran and Django/Python noob: 1. Am I the only one that likes to read list e-mails via his smartphone? Does SO have an app? I love SO when I am using my desktop, but I don't think I have ever visited that site on my iPhone. Granted, all my coding is done on my desktop, so surfing/searching the net is easier, but still... Mail.app is just easy. :) 2. I work at a company where my computer monitor is visible to anyone walking by... Having my e-mail client open (Gmail) is much less risky than having to constantly surf SO (or other forums) to keep updated. 3. Related to above, having to dedicate yet another browser "app" tab to another site does not sound optimal. 4. Folks interested in improving existing Django resources might contact Charles Leifer: http://charlesleifer.com/blog/django-snippets-site-improvements-what-would-you-see/ Looks like he is open to suggestions. 5. I think the former jQuery Google group is a prime example of what I would /not/ like to see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jquery-en They moved the Google group to a dedicated forum: http://forum.jquery.com/ Personally, I am not a fan of the jQuery forum software; if I have to use a forum, I much prefer the standard vBulletin software. What frustrated me most about the jQuery move is that they turned off the Google Group list... I just don't visit the jQuery forum unless I have an urgent question. I hate to admit it, but I never hang out to help. It makes me wonder how many folks left the jQuery scene because of the move to forums? 6. As I said above, I think SO is great, but is it just me, or has anyone else found the barrier to participation an annoyance? I can't count the number of times I could have "chipped in" to help out, but because I did not have a "reputation" or "points", I moved on with my life without sharing an answer. I personally don't have time to worry about gaining points and/or voting for things (see #2 above). ......... For me, I think the moral of the story is this: The more resources the merrier!!!! </soapbox> Thanks for listening.
