Personally, I think a web-based forum is more appropriate for
user-discussions such as build problems or supported hardware. It also
facilitates searching, information grouping and adminstration (moving
threads) and makes spam-control easier. (+ one doesn't have to subscribe
just to be up-to-date).
That was just an idea, but then again I don’t really want to start a
discussion on mailinglist vs forums. Therefore a summary of arguments is
found for example here:

Well..
Even if, as Harald said, the list's volume is still low and we're free
not to answer to newcomers, that's still a great temptation.
And on top of that, if "useful" threads get hijacked...
every time I see new conversations in this gmail label, I ask myself
whether this is a newcomer trying to compile the wrong git branch, or a
real information about osmocom-bb.
Any feelings about that?
