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.
