I agree on all of Lar's points.
Google tracks all of the information submitted to the list like a
forum, so there is no reason to have to go to the forum to see the
forum.
If this were a forum, I would have to setup an RSS reader and check it
for information as well. I am lazy, I like to go to one place for my
communication.
It seems that this is a hotly debated subject in some other lists, but
i think that the best way to deal with email lists is to know what your
options are.
as a member of a list, you usually have three choices.
a) receive email updates every time that some one submits to the list
b) receive a digest at the end of every day
c) choose neither, and go to the list to see what has been submitted.

About the wiki option:
Wiki's are amazing for building structured information.
The best choice for wiki's, IMHO is Media Wiki.
Looking forward to a wiki,

I prefer email over forums for general discussions. It's easier for
me to keep track of what happens and to get an email everytime a
posting in a forum was made is a pain in the back. So, I'd vote
against the forum for now, since we basically have only one big topic
- ossec - here and the subtopics are not really so different. So I'd
stick to mail-only instead of having two discussionsystems.
About wishlist and bugsystem: I'd vote for bugzilla or some other
ticketingsystem.
I'd really love to have a wiki for the documentation, since it would
take some work from the dev-team by letting the community improve the
docs and the faqs.
In short:
- no forum,
- wiki for documentation and faq,
- bugzilla/ticketingsystem for wishlist and bugtracks, and
- mailinglist for discussions with a public archive.
