That's a good point... or points. I also like newsgroups, but I haven't used them in a while, probably because most of discussions about haskell take place on mailing lists.
Maybe it's time to register comp.lang.haskell?
Could someone tell me something about fa.haskell? Is it a mirror of haskell@haskell.org? Can it be used to post messages through NNTP?
I use gmane.org for all my mailing lists. I use gnus in emacs, and I have: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) Subscribe to newsgroups that match gmane.comp.lang.haskell.*, and you're done.
How about an integrated newsgroup+mailinglist+forum. If we had a two-way newsgroup+mailinglist integration, people could use it also as a forum, for example through gmail.google.com. But I don't use fora, so I probably talk nonsense.
That would be gmane.org. It has a web interface[1] [2], nntp interface, and it works with all mailing lists that subscribe to it. It's also free.
