I would like to desperately suggest NOT moving away from the mailing  
list.
This is a thread that comes up at least once a year in several of the  
mailing
lists I am on, and the result is usually the same:
  - a torrent of people saying that mail is much more convenient for  
them
  - someone pointing out that web interfaces to mail exist
  - the revolution does not happen (and a good thing too)
