Web forums share teh same problem for me. I'm moving 'way too fast to
find a website and update it sufficiently often to follow changes. It's
literally hard enough to keep up with e-mail during the day, and some
days, well, I just don't, as there's more going on than I can handle.
I'd prefer e-mail discussions, wtih wiki documentation of a
decision/consensus.

Ok, I've been kicking around a strawman for "Xastir-NG" requirements

Could I propose (unless anyone has serious objections) that we put
the list of requirement into some other format other than an email
archive. While fine for discussion, I find that the 'core' of the
thread can sometimes get lost (of course you can tell me to get
lost as well ;).
I would be more than happy to create an instance of trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/
) or indeed any other tool that would allow collaborative editing/
working.
Alternatively, I could try and keep a continual 'list summary' on
one long html page. Which attempts to describe the feature and
keep the description up to date with the list discussion.
Comments?

How about forums for discussion and a wiki for documentation.
I often find it easier to find information in web-forums because
discussions can be classified under different topics, and they often
have better search functions than mailing lists do.Moreover, some
forumsoftware has nice formatting options such as [code] [/code]
statements which will automatically do syntax-coloring on blocks of
code.
Another thing to look into, would be something like
redmine(http://www.redmine.org/), which can do:
* svn/cvs/mercurial/etc.. repository management ( online repository
browsing, it automatically creates RSS feeds from the repo changelogs,
and it can show syntax-colored diff's between different
revisions/versions of files. very detailed and very useful)
* bug and feature/task/support ticket tracking (and the abibility to
link bug creations/resolvings to repository revision numbers)
* manage project 'news', documents, and files
* track time spent on tasks/projects
* team/project calendar
* automatically generated gantt chart. (visual way of tracking project
schedule, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gantt_chart )
* project roadmap
( a demo project in redmine can be seen here:
http://demo.redmine.org/projects/show/sandbox )
There are many options out there that could increase productivity, I
only stated some of my personal favorites, but it is definitively
something worth brainstorming over.
