Yes, we have discussed forums vs lists on several occasions. Each solution
has positives and negatives. The general consensus is that a forum is not as
effective for sharing and learning as a list - forums are more passive and
people are possibly less likely to go there unless they have a problem.

Lists are more immediate, and they do not require members to go elsewhere to
take part. The WSG list is living proof of this. We have an active list with
a fantastic bunch of knowledgeable people answering questions and having
interesting conversations.
