Development discussion: mailing list or here?

Michael (Lordrea) has started working on setting up a dedicated OpenMW forum, and a new home for the Wiki.
And, in a private email:
You mentioned that you'd like to set up a site and possibly a forum for OpenMW, something I'm sure would be highly appreciated.
So, I'll let the big man himself clarify, but I believe that at least the website/wiki over at SourceForge will be moved over.

I agree with this, but I'll keep the ML open for the time being. I've never run a ML parallel with a forum before, so we'll see how it pans out.

I personally don't mind either way where technical discussions take place, though in my experience people generally feel more comfortable holding discussions in a forum. It would be possible to pipe new forum messages back into the mailing list, but unless you restrict that plan to a development forum you may run foul of the more conversational nature that forums tend to take (i.e clogged mailing list).
