I like the idea of git. Certainly it would mean a change in process, but it also opens up new and interesting possibilities, such as collaboration on github. > Some food for thought. Think about it.

For example, they archive well, and become readily searchable on the interwebs. Still, I agree with most of the points you brought up for consideration. Technology changes, and the way we interact online changes, too. If you go the route of a forum, just choose carefully. There's a lot of horrible forum software out there. Incidentally, Redmine (a tool I suggested some time back as a replacement for Trac) has a built-in forum and connects up to both Subversion and git.
