I agree with Jigal. Synchronisation is possible and makes perfect sense! 
It also helps to avoid that the knowledge of all these TYPO3 experts on 
this list split over different channels.

Exactly. The synchronisation between mailing lists and newsgroup server 
works perfect, and there is already an attempt to build a web interface 
for that (http://support.typo3.org/).

What remains to be done is that the web interface can be used for 
posting a message, not just for reading.
