+For comparison's sake, the LibreOffice mailists[1] all operate this way, 
+the mailists are bridged to GMane, forums (Nabble Gateway) this offers 
+great flexibility with our different teams. IRC is available as well. I 
+have to say that by covering all communication bases this way, the 
+LibreOffice teams have been able to make great headway in the very few 
+months of its existence. I am very impressed at how few complaints there 
+have been of the communication process just by having covered all of 
+these forms right from the very start.
+
+Taking a look at this setup may be of interest.
