Hmm.  If the purpose is simply to be a home for discussion, like an
email list would be, personally I would rather we stick to something
that is just a discussion board and which doesn't have other distracting
additional features.

But I'm not sure what our goal is.  Perhaps we should wait for Susan to
explain more about what the goals are for this group, what the exact
relationship with Athabasca is, and so forth?
