This is what the Sydney Linux Users Group does.  The primary SLUG 
mailing list has pretty strict rules as to what stays on-topic.  It's 
only Linux technical discussions and meeting announcements.

All other discussion is on a "slug-chat" mailing list.

Any OT discussion on the 'slug' list is swiftly redirected to the -chat 
list, fairly successfully.

There is actually a "trilug-ot" list that someone started, but it's not 
on the main TriLUG server and hasn't been successful just yet.

I'd encourage the SC to consider this approach.  I like the "-chat" 
moniker better than "-ot".
