This is *excellent* news, I'm delighted to see it!
Although I'm delighted at the web-interface (I don't feel the mailing list is the answer to everything), it would be nice to have the experts read even the digests of the mailing list from time to time, too. Their expert input would be very welcome on this list!
That might be possible at some point if a large enough community of biosafety volunteers is established that would be willing to chime in here or there. But, I think it is a lot to ask this small group of volunteers to read through a bunch of irrelevant stuff, looking for safety issues! Sort of like asking my doc to skim my email making to make sure I'm healthy :)
I like the idea of posting questions directly to a mailing list, I could see that being a future scenario worth exploring. Although, responding to a single, well-specified question is a different beast than engaging in an ongoing discussion. Also, I could see the submission form getting more structured. Images of workspace may be important to answering some questions. Typically biosafety officers are collocated with scientists and get the opportunity to see the context etc.
