I agree. Although you can have add-ons to most popular forums which can make it act as a mailing list, so users can still interact without the need to visit the forum. The searching would be a LOT easier to do in the forum though.
John, I'd be more than happy to help with the creation of a site/forum for jQuery.com. I've had enough experience with Drupal and forums (both .NET and PHP) to have a good idea of what needs doing.
