Anything in general, I don't have a purpose yet, but not meant to work like
a mailing list.  (That'd probably kill my machine.)

Perhaps, but they don't have comments on everything and I have the Slashdot
code working already anyway. Don't think freshmeat gives it out.

I'm thinking more along the lines of FTP site/snippet archive (as in what
they do and URL, not containing the actual files) with comments, polls, and
other general information. (Perhaps articles on DG scripts and such.)

I just have to 'pretty it up' at the moment and think of a name...
