That's an interesting idea. Perhaps you could write up some details of 
how this would work.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumsCommunityIntegration>

One component could be to set up Web feeds (Atom/RSS) for the forums, 
and for RecentChanges in the wiki, so you can read them alongside the 
mailing lists and newsgroups in a program like Thunderbird.

Another component could be a search function that searches the official 
site, the wiki, the forums, and the mailing list archives all at once.

There's nothing stopping you from using the same e-mail address for the 
mailing list, the wiki, and the newsgroups.

There's nothing stopping you from using the same password, too (though 
it's not necessarily a good idea).

Great subject line, by the way. :-)
