A wiki requires someone to copy information from the discussion to the 
wiki and to keep that information updated.  This task generally falls to 
a small group of dedicated volunteers.  This is fine if such a group is 
available and persistent, but in my experience systems that rely on 
volunteers to routinely copy and maintain information are more prone to 
abandonment.

There are a number of very dedicated people in this community, so a list 
and wiki may be a good solution here.

A wiki for organizing information in a topic-oriented format is a 
valuable supplement to both mailing lists and forums, where information 
about a particular topic is spread among many otherwise unrelated threads.
