[Sheflug] Use of mailing lists and online forums

[Robert Holland <bobholland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following on from James Vasile's talk last week I'm trying to get a feel 
for free software community collaborative tools. In particular I 
wondered how people view the advantages / disadvantages of using email 
lists compared with forums.

I've done a quick search for published studies on this but couldn't turn 
up anything which offered a useful summary of opinion.

If anyone has any pointers or would like to share their thoughts it 
would be appreciated.

Bob
