I am coming in a little late on this conversation but you can have both with keeping the existing mailman system. I added freeswitch-users to Nabble groups back in March. The same thing can be done to freeswitch-dev and we might be able to import the even older freeswitch-users data. For those not familiar Nabble ( http://www.nabble.com ) allows anyone to create a web forum based on an existing mailing list. After you signup you can input your existing mailing list auth info and when you post to the freeswitch-users forum it sends it to the mailing list and keeps track of the posting status. Here is a link to the freeswitch list: http://www.nabble.com/Freeswitch-users-f32209.html This is a works for me solution that might appease everyone.

I am in with the forum.
For whatever reason people don't like them.
Voip-info.org is working use it and people will start asking more questions on it and then it will be more popular etc..
My 2 cents

Personally, I also prefer some sort of bulletin board / message board based discussion. Google Groups is a great idea. To me, a straight up mailman mailing list just seems old school. I agree with Darren in that something more easily searchable would be a big plus.
