I think you're missing the point from the e-democracy.org
experiences, so let me be clearer: to succeed in the long
term, a forum *needs* the email interface.

Even so, this is not a choice between mailing list and web
forums. We can have both, like at http://forums.e-democracy.org
or like at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha - doesn't
that give koha most of the benefits that you've described?
Maybe we should retitle our link and promote it better?

Hope that clarifies,
