One of the last tasks Pat Qunitin completed prior to her departure was the establishment of the discussion board. This can be used to have "real-time" discussions on pertinent topics in a forum more conducive to "discussion" than email.

The Board is set up in a Q&A format, where a user can either pose a new questions or answer an existing question. All questions will be in the bulleted list with subject, name and date.

If you wish to follow a discussion, you can add an alert that will notify you of new postings.

Let me know what you think about this service. Perhaps when CEE hires or contracts with a web administrator, we can explore other BBoard options, but until that time, I think this is a great start.
