I'm new to the forums, but I just wanted to give a suggestion regarding the e-mail discussion above.

Perhaps, you can make it so that people can sign up to receive e-mails from different categories. Maybe a seperate page or even within their profiles. Right now, one can choose to receive e-mails from the admins. However, I was thinking more along the lines of receiving e-mails specific to things. For example, receiving e-mails about security patches. Receiving e-mails about new modules. etc... Users should be able to choose one or all of these things. Some might only want to receive e-mails regarding important security alerts and patches.

This way, people can choose, on their own, which categories they would like to receive e-mails about.
