While I myself am feeling a little overwhelmed by the mail traffic too,
I don't like the idea of forums. Personally, I have yet to see a forum
that I consider useful. All too often forums are slow, difficult to
search and waste too much time throughout the day polling for new posts.
I think a decent mail list archive with searching capabilities and
sortable by date/thread/author should be fine. If the traffic is too
much for you then unsubscribe and scan the archives from time to time.
I'm involved with a few organizations that spent considerable time,
effort and $$ setting up and managing forums only to find they are
consistently under-utilized.
I vote against forums.
