Like Leslie mentions, a Wiki is useful for taking quick notes and
discussions. Mailing lists are Ok for the latter, but not the former.
I disagree.  Wikis are not useful for discussions.  In fact, they are
terrible at that.  Wikis are useful when you want to post some sort of
quasi-static information and let other people add to it or change it,
but that's not a discussion.

I agree that it's horrible for dicussion but it's awesome for
specifications. To do a specification on a mailing list is horrivel
because you never have the full status of it.

If that's what is meant by discussion, then yes, a wiki is a good tool for that.
