Dont get me wrong, I like the unbelievable support which is done on the mailing-list, but i think today there could be more efficient possibilities.
I think, the efficiency of mailing-list or forum depends on the tools you use. For me, a mailing-list is much more efficient, because I can use my favorite tools (editor, MUA, mail-filter, search-tools, spell-checker, etc.). For a forum, I would depend on the web-browser (less efficient for me). The other question is: "Forum _and_ mailing-list" or "forum _instead_ of mailing-list"? In the first case, you could divide users and developers perhaps into 2 groups, only some of them would monitor both, list _and_ forum. The second case is probably not an option.
