+Hi Wolfgang,
+
+It really depends on the particular needs of any activity, yet I'm a big
+proponent for the consolodation of many projects between email lists and
+forums, as it relates to the preferences of the participants.
+
+This provides a choice for the participant, native to their respective
+comfort zones, without breaking either medium, and without forcing
+someone to adopt one medium or the other in order to participate in the
+discussions.
+
+pls  see additional comments below...

+I can't speak to the web based infrastructure we're using at the moment,
+or what we might do in that regard, however, here's a solution that has
+worked well for me whenever I need such a merge between mediums.
+
+http://drupal.org/node/40777
+
+There are, of course, other methodologies. I would suggest that whatever
+we decide upon, that it integrates seamlessly so that:
+
+1.) mailing list posts end up in the forum
+
+2.) forum posts end up on the mailing list
+
+3.) we archive everything at one of the major email archive sites AS
+WELL  as GMANE.
+
+Hope that helps :)
+
+Kindest regards,
+
