I think a small note on the list page stating that the list archives are 
a great source of information for newbies and that it can be searched 
using Google (and how to do that) would go a long, long way.  As a 
newbie, my first inclination is to go to www.asterisk.org and look for 
help.  From there, I find my way to the mailing list and from there to 
the archives (which have no search interface).  At that point, I'm faced 
with digging through the archives manually or just posting a quick 
question to the list.  If I'm pressed for time, you can probably guess 
which one I'll pick.

I didn't even know you could search the Asterisk-Users archive using 
Google until today.  I'll definitely use that in the future before 
asking questions on the list.  I'd love to see information about how to 
do that added to http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=support or 
http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
