ff.net will do fine; the message system there runs faster than my email and a prolonged discussion would probably clutter other formats such as my primary emailbox or the threads around LW.
Some common forum might be necessary for projects whose commentariat consists of several people, so as to avoid people stating the same points over and over, but the idea of mailing lists doesn’t hold much appeal—I get huge noise-to-signal ratios from some of my university mailing lists and I’d rather not add to the list of mailboxes I have to sieve through on a regular basis. I’ve never tried LJ; does it work differently and is it any better?
It’s better for hosting discussions among multiple people. So far I haven’t seen the kind of demand that would warrant setting up a community there, though.
