How about the Informix folk setting up a MAILING list.. and
see where that goes...there are many (if not hundreds) of sites
that have nothing to do with INFORMIX ... can't these Informix
"discussions" be placed on a mailing list??? I'd be happy to
assist in setting one up.. (soon to come an INGRES mail list)
and I'd be more than happy to maintain a list-of-lists of 
database related mailing lists that can be periodically posted
or sent out on demand????

 whaddya think?
