I have been considering just such a system for years now: a web interface
to the CC list where folks could view messages from a browser and post
messages to the list from the web version (with a tag added to identify
where the messages were posted from). One of these days I'll get around
to it.

But it would also be cool to have machine- and topic-
specific forums.
This I agree with whole-heartedly, but it would rely on the discipline of
the posters (and as we should know from experience, this is no good ;)
Find a web
forum that acts like a mailing list and I'll buy in ;)
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/ seems to be down
temporarily, and does it only update every 24 hours?
Has no one invented a web forum / mailing list hybrid, where web
postings are echoed to the mailing list, and vice versa, and it
updates in real-time or something close to it? If some large
percentage of subscribers switched to this web version, it would
certainly lessen the load on the SMTP-based list.
