Please no!  Too many useful mailing lists and Usenet groups have devolved and sunk into practicing wikicraft.

"...not sure if this would help or hinder"
The latter.

If I had a nickel for every time I've gone to an open-source project's homepage only to find a wiki on which half of the pages (in particular the documentation) haven't been written... (I'm looking at you, SDL!)

I like Tim's suggestion and think it's a great point. 

And, I think that a forum would have a long term impact, I'm the same way that public lobbies are great for New York and highways are terrible for LA. 

I like the idea that an environment finds its balance and suspect that changing environments tends to be fatal.
