The newsgroup comp.os.os2.beta is in RFD (Request for Discussion)
right now, along with a couple other newsgroups (comp.os.os2.announce
and comp.os.os2.ver1x).  There will be three others going into RFD in
about a month.  Watch for the Call for Votes: it is important that you
vote YES if you want these newsgroups to be created.  (Don't mail me;
wait for the CFV post, and follow the instructions you see there.)

The .beta newsgroup is intended to be a forum to discuss not only the
beta(s), but also suggestions for future releases of OS/2 (especially
when a beta is not the active topic of discussion).  The .announce
newsgroup will hopefully handle the other end.  It will be moderated,
and I expect some of the traffic will include APARs (problems slated
to be fixed).  (IBM has included a full list of OS/2 APARs on
CompuServe now; I hope to get it over to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in the next
week or two.)

IBM has reopened the bug reporting (for released OS/2 versions)
through the CompuServe address.  The problem report form is filename
os2prob.txt, available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu (check
file /pub/os2/00Index for location).

IBM Toronto has several netmail addresses for reporting problems and
offering suggestions on C Set/2, Workframe/2, and the other OS/2
development tools.  See the OS/2 Frequently Asked Questions List:
Programmer's Edition for further information.

Note that the OS/2 newsgroups are carried over IBM's internal network,
and they are monitored by IBM.

I'm working on a few other ideas.  Hopefully I'll have something more
to report in the near future.
