Is this a better "forum" for discussions?

I like the idea of keeping both. I am far more used to forums than mailing lists, and have kept copies of all the emails on all the lists for some time because I find them easier to search . . .

However, I appreciate that those providing answers to support questions may find it easier and quicker to respond via a mailing list.

I will say the very first thing I look for if I am buying a widget or purchasing some software or considering using some new piece of open source code is an active forum . . . no forum or a poorly used forum is a red flag to me.

webERP's active mailing list has served us well, but having this additional venue may help attract more users and developers.
