Try Gmane if you do not like the Mail-list concept. It is very ususal
for Apache projects to centre their activities on a mail-list. At least
it has been for many years now. This is VERY unlikey to change.

This is the first open source project that I have joined, but is there
a better mechanism compared to a mailing list? Just got back, and
check my mail box to find over 200 e-mails. End up having to read
replies, and not knowing what the actual questions were.
Would it be better to have a forum like environment, whereby people
can track the topics being discussed, and contribute to the ones that
are closest to their hearts? At the very least we can view the
questions, and the replies.
Also, maybe I need to catch up on my reading, but I seem to notice
coding going on, and people starting to patch the system up. Is there
any design documentation out? Use cases, sequence diagrams ? all that
object oriented design stuff? Would help alot for people to get a
holistic view of what is going on in the system
