Serious question: what would the benefit be versus mail? How would you receive notification of new messages? Would you have to keep reloading the page?

You can turn notifications on for Google+ communities if you want notifications. Those who don't want notifications, but want to look occasionally could join and not turn on notifications.

Although having the community set so that you need to ask to join will limit participation.

Also its a great way to show that prototypejs has an active community and members that are willing to help coders that are new to prototype

It's been my experience (since i got this address in 1994) that things that come to me, like mailing lists, get and maintain my attention; while things like forums (and their direct descendants -- Facebook and G+ and so forth) that require me to go look at them to find if anything is new fade away. I have lost count of the number of fora I have joined over the years, often to get community support for a particular problem, that I have never returned to again after my question was answered. Contrast that with my interaction with this mailing list, which has survived three platforms and two name changes, and by my count has resulted in me writing 791 posts since 2006. My initial messages were questions, and I stood on the shoulders of giants here. Lately the majority of my posts are answers to other people's questions. It's that part of the equation that I fear gets lost in a non-push environment, to the detriment of all.

I can't seem to figure out how to enable free membership to the community.  It doesn't seem to be any option to change it.

Walter, the most obvious way you get notifications from a G+ stream is on the black Google toolbar that appears on any Google site (when you are logged in).  You can login to your account and change how you are notified as well, such as by email, maybe txt (not sure), etc.

OK, the new and improved Open Membership community on G+

https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/112982260903864057648

Nothing like a little hiccup right out the gates!

Walter, try G+ you might like it.  And there is a zintillionton (made up word.  I like it :) of technical content and interesting stuff to follow on there.  

In G+, you can add a + in front of a name and it is sort of like a CC on that topic.  So I could do +Walter and you would get, more or less, a push on that.  So if I respond to anything on G+ and I think you might be interested in it I just +Walter you in my message (which is private by the way between you and I).

Also in G+, if you +1 a stream or comment on a stream, basically interact with a stream, you'll get push notification from hence forth.  Of course you can change the level of notifications, etc.
