 Hmmm, guess this goes back to the firehose dev meeting thing. I've signed
 myself up for most of our email lists and have rss2email for feeds I care
 about on top of that. Throwing forum correspondence into the mix isn't any
 sort of burden and would make the it vastly easier for me to keep up with
 rather than needing to actively browse its pages.

 Personally I think that most of us will quickly get fed up with needing to
 check the site for updates. That said, we're probably both mistaken in
 assuming that everyone has the same communication preferences as us.

 etiquette for forums

 I think that you may be overestimating this. I've seen joint email
 list/forum setups before that worked very nicely, but guess this will
 depend on what sort of community our forum draws in.
