I end up filtering list mail to skip the inbox, so still have to remember to 'visit' the mailing list (folder) to read it. Although, I've secretly suspected that many developers prefer mailing lists over forums because they don't appear as accessible to the average newbie, and so tend to have a better signal to noise ratio. ;) Of course, relying on a third-party is not an option anymore.

The concept of outsourcing is still valid; there are people who specialise in building/maintaining community software, economies of scale etc. The problem is trusting a free service from a huge company like Google. Perhaps other organisations have more incentive to care about the community software they host? > jQuery chose the first option (A) some time ago and they don't seem to > regret it.

I found the software needed a lot of customisation before I was happy with it, and at the same time I didn't find the code base very easy to work with (with apologies to the phpBB developers as it's a matter of taste, but I prefer code to be in small functions rather than large functions or in the global scope!) The only technical forum I've regularly used based on phpBB was the Gentoo forums, which I felt worked very well. The trick with any forum is not to make more sub-forums than you definitely need, or you'll end up with lots of quiet forums and nobody knows what belongs where.
