So what can we do to make life easier fo= r contributors and users?

Should we have a mailing= list?  Just use Google communities? (does anyone actually use communi= ties?)
Set up a discourse forum?  It's fairly easy to do on = a Digital Ocean server for $10 a month.  Might need to upgrade at some= point but $10 wouldn't be too bad to start with.
Is google group= s good enough?  Or does it make Void look bad?  Personally I thin= k Void should have a forum that promotes Voidlinux more than Google.

Things I know of that we can do to help void:
= Raise awareness - more people =3D more potential contributors 
Contribute package builds
Contribute code to the package manag= er
Documentation, I still use the Arch WIki whenever I have a Lin= ux related question.
If we could convince some North American Uni= versities to host a void repo that would be wonderful.

Anyway, discuss.
