Agreed.

I think mailing list == community - since the community will initially
consist of a mailing list and then (hopefully) grow into a full fledged
"development group" or "project".  I like the way Apache calls it a
"Project" and then gives the project a status (incubator, full-fledged
etc.)

We definately need to define the buzzwords - because most of them are
already severly "overloaded" (pardon the Object Oriented pun).
