I disagree with this. I don't like web forums, I don't use web forums
if I can avoid it. They're way more work than mailing lists.
And I disagree with you. I don't like mailing lists, and I don't use

end user at least, if perhaps not for the administrator. ;-)
It is much easier to keep conversations in context in a forum, and to
search for old conversations. It's all there, all the time. It is also
easy to create sub-groups/forums for specific projects, which will
both increase their accessibility for the rest of the community, and
draw the interest of new developers.
A mailing list will never be enough. A forum has way way more potential.
