I agree.  The advantages of a wiki would be nice to do not submit
again and again the same idea on the mailing list and to give hints to
each others.  Mailing lists are nice for fresh news that are discussed
but not for goals or documentation because mailing list are growing
continuously.  At the opposite of forums (which are kinds of group of
mailing list) a wiki can be organized and get links between pages.

I am just wondering how many times I have been on the Gentoo wiki even
if this was not to configure a Gentoo ...
