I, personally, am a little concerned about seeing any "fracturing" of the sources of log4j news/questions, etc.Email lists work best for news, announcements and discussions.
Could you please give some idea, if there are any, as to what kind of discussions should be happening where?
Thanks

P.S. I, personally, find public newsgroups (like this) much, much easier and more useful than the proprietary or web-site based access forums (eg. Sun's Java forums, or Oracle's Technet).
Wiki seems to work best for collaborative notes and development of documentation (for example, a HOWTO or FAQ.) Once an email is sent and saved to the archive, the information in it can't be updated. However, if someone asks a question, it is useful to point them to the answer in a wiki... and if it's not in the wiki, or outdated, then the answerer can update the wiki first, then point them to it.
The barriers to entry on a wiki are lower than registering for a forum, and the pages are usually indexed by search engines. On many you don't even have to identify yourself to edit pages. It's amazing that works, but it does.
