As a group manager, I like the Google Group for general discussion. It requires relatively little work for me (and I am not able to take on more, nor do I think Howard is), and has the very great benefit of stability. Moving to a volunteer-hosted website might offer us some whiz-bang extra features, but frankly I don't trust volunteer hosting. What happens when the hosting account expires? Who wants to pay for it in perpetuity? To me it sounds like asking for trouble, no matter how good the intentions of those volunteering to host a site for QS may be. The user support group should be as stable and accessible as possible, without any more sudden moves.
As for the code and issues of fragmentation happening there, I am all in favour of doing something to centralize that, and of keeping discussion of code related matters on a code related forum. This group should really be for users supporting users. Along those lines, I would be entirely in favour of moving all the AppleScript related stuff on this group to a proper code-related site as well. The group is poorly designed for such a purpose, and it is a pain in the butt to keep up with all the scripts that get submitted. I'd far rather have a robust page somewhere that I can just point people to.
