In my experience a forums application (threaded or not) works better than mailing lists for exchanging project information. Most forums already have extensive search capabilities built in. If you need this-second notification of new posts, many offer e-mail notification for participants in a given thread. The only area you may need to address is that of security. For instance, if you wanted only certain eyes to view certain threads. Not all forums applications have that capability.
