Wiki is VERY GOOD for article, documentations, manual ... (being the
owner of a wiki with over 5000+ page since many year, i know what i
mean). But it's crap for discussion.
The talk page is only here to provide a way to comment and perfect the
article. With 5 posts we don't really have enough material to start to
write an article and talk about it.

if you don't check the wiki for a few day, you see tons of new stuff
on the talk page and :
- You have to read everything again
or
- You read the diff.

I use gmail and it's well threaded.
But maybe a newsgroup could be better. (and can easily support
thousands of post/day)
