For the mailing list, why not use Google Groups? I've used that for several other collaborations. It's free and easy to use and keeps history. Also it does a nice job preventing spam and "out-of-office" replies and is really easy to use. I think it also digitally signs (DKIM) messages to aid delivery (so mails are not marked as spam). It has good sign-up/leave tools as well and various permissions for how public messages are and for hiding email addresses from the public:
http://groups.google.com/ I don't know the history of this project, but I don't see Sourceforge in your list of options for hosting. For any open source project, they host free source control, a wiki, a bug tracking system, forums, and a download section. I've used it to collaborate on other projects and it worked great. http://sourceforge.net/create/ I'll gladly set up either one if people are interested. -- Glen K.
