Actually, all this discussion only illustrates one thing:

Neither Mailing-Lists, Message Boards or Wikis are a silver bullet.

I for example love message boards because of the easy administration  
and accessability. One must see that i often use different computers  
that do not have a mail-client installed. For example: reading ruby- 
talk without a good Mail program is not managable - even with nabble.  
Reading it via webmailer is impossible.

But having a mailing list as a local copy is great, too. I am often  
working while i'm sitting in a train across the country. Still being  
able to read all the stuff is great in that regard.

Wikis are cool for accessing evolving information, but have problems  
when it comes down to discussions. Also here: no offline accessibility  
and/or ability to edit.

All this is entirely subjective.

Maybe it's time again that someone thinks out of the box and eighter  
mixes all three to something cool or comes up with an entirely new idea.

Florian Gilcher
