 === Google Groups Syncing ===
-For various reasons, Google Groups has had trouble accurately syncing with the posts from news.mozilla.org, particularly newly created lists, causing confusing and fragmentation of the project's conversation.
+Currently, we rely on Google Groups to provide an interactive web-accessible archive for Discussion Forum posts. We do this by modifying the Mailman listinfo template. In contrast, standard Mailing Lists still provide a static archive of the mailing list posts to it.
+For various reasons, Google Groups has had trouble [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=716007 reliably syncing posts] from outside of its own interface, including blocking email posts from showing up correctly on the Google Groups newsgroup page. This inconsistency caused confusion and fragmentation of the project's attempts at conversation.
