I would tend to disagree. I think the combination of the mailing lists, a wiki and the IRC channel cover most of our communication needs. I don't think that yet another variant would help us much. Web boards tend to be harder to use than email since it requires a web browser. Having too many differnt types of communication channel would reduce the readership of any one of them.
