I'd like to second that.
General discussion: mailing-list
If somebody has a really good contribution, it should go in the wiki.


What would a forum do that the current mailinglist cannot do ?
Even worse, I'm subscribed to this list, and the postings get sorted 
into a maildir on my server.
When I want to search for something or want to re-read a thread easily, 
I can do that with an IMAP mailclient very swiftly - I cannot do that 
with a web-based forum.

All a forum adds is icons, smileys and pictures for the avatars ;-)
