On PHPBB you can get a list of the new posts since last visits, and you can subscribe to a post so that you get messages in your mailbox when there is a reply.

Yes, that's true. What I would add is that both Mailing list and Forums are good. The same discussion was seen about 2 month ago on the PHPEdit mailing list, and we now have both the forum and the mailing list, and it's ok. The perfect solution would be a gateway between the forum and the mailing list so that nobody misses any post :) The forum archives are much easier to access for most user. Many non-developers are not used to mailing lists and don't want to learn, whereas many developers don't like forum... Katana
