Ok, I do have a topic I want to add;

Merging the dozen different mailing lists, IRC channels and other 
support forums. This thread is a good example of the thinness that the 
community is spread over.

A 'dev', 'user', 'announce' list should be enough for all HA. Likewise, 
one IRC channel should be enough, too.

The trick will be discussing this without bikeshedding. :)
