Why not starting by moving the GWT-group from a maillist/web-forum to a newsgroup (residing in Usenet). From the general point of view of the regular Google Groups user who is accessing the group with the web-browser like a web-forum there is no difference. But the "power- user" can use his/her news-reader allowing e.g. using scoring, flags, etc. to find the interesting things. > I see similar "newbie" questions > over and over again, or questions about the same topic repeated many > times.

Votes The current traffic of GWT is about 600 messages per week, which is not too much for an average newsgroup. Only the organization as web-forum makes it uncomfortable. I'm not happy, either, because I use the group as maillist, leading to huge inboxes if I'm away for some time. Changing it to a newsgroup would ease things a lot. It would enlarge the audience (Usenet-user instead of only Google Groups users) also.
