Best of Luck!
I think sometimes design list discussions will have to be more "time- based" or proceed in phases that are set by a moderator. (As we did  for the Branding exercise.) For example, for calendar enhancements we  are going to first open up the wiki page for people to add their own  feature ideas before asking people to prioritize the list. We want to  make sure that everyone has an opportunity to contribute ideas before  we set about trying to prioritize them.
Completely agree. The figure of a Moderator is most important to give it a coherent form.
On the other hand the "time - based" is a must so as not to interfere with the work at OSAF though bulk of e mails mostly nearing a milestone (I feel responsible for this).

We will also want to schedule IRC office hours where we discuss  issues as a group anything from Brainstorming use cases and ideas to  heuristic evaluations and workflow walkthroughs.
I have been passively attending IRC to see how it works.
I have a question on this, are people all the time reading or is it something that you get in and out periodically.
On the other hand I might be like listening, but I am actually working on another program and/or task.

In this way, the design discussions will probably feel more moderated  and coordinated than some of the Devlist discussions.
