I would tend to disagree. I think the combination of the mailing lists, a wiki and the IRC channel cover most of our communication needs.
Personally I prefer to use mailing lists, but they have one disadvantage - if you don't set up filters to split incoming mail into multiple folders, you can be flooded with messages.
IMO, the best solution are newsgroups. What I dislike with web-based communication (webmail, webforums) is that webbrowsing is not as flexible as using a specialized software and that you are not free in choosing your communication software apart from choosing a webbrowser – you have to live with the webmail/webforum software installed on the server, independently of whether you like it or not.
I don't think that yet another variant would help us much. Web boards tend to be harder to use than email since it requires a web browser. Having too many differnt types of communication channel would reduce the readership of any one of them.
How about a forum integrated with mailing lists?
Does such a thing already exist somewhere?
