I don't think that's obvious at all. Forums are good for people who
want to ask one question and not get involved or people who only have
one interest, but if the people who know the answers don't hang out
there they won't be useful. And those people usually have too many
interests to bounce around logging into specialized forums for each.
Neither forums nor email lists are great for accumulating answers to
recurring problems in a way that others can find them. A wiki is
perfect for that but it takes some manual intervention to gather
information out of the the mail list and put it there in a more usable
format.
