There is a LinkedIn Maven User group with 2084 members
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1940051
It is not as active as it could be but is available for use.
Is a way to have discussions that are easier to manage over a longer term.
Many of the key resources in this forum are also in the LinkedIn group.
This has no cost to Apache or any member nor does it require any
additional effort to the PMS or members of the user list to post
questions and discussions (specially if you know how to use copy and paste).
It does remove a bit of the anonymity of a mailing list but does give
people a chance to look at profiles to judge the experience of the
people asking questions or giving answers.
It also tracks the influence of people in the group but does not make
that public which would be helpful.

I think because Apache is a non-profit is cost should be minimal --
including cost of time by system administrators. If you want to search and
filter, you have Google and other search engines.

I was just wondering why this group uses an email list rather than a
forum. It seems forum software is more searchable and filterable than
email lists.
Thanks,
