IMHO, mailing lists usually lack a good archive and therfore the same  
questions are discussed every now and then and they have a tendency  
of separating communities in two groups - insiders who know all the  
mails of the last two years and newcomers who don't.

And, by being forced to use a webforum, my impression is that people  
tend to think a little more before they write the next mail...

But finally, the discussion about communication tools for this  
community may be a little early. We should focus on discussing "our  
next communication tool", the OpenMoko.
