One other thing I've realized lately is that someone assigned to 
take an email thread and keep track of what is decided in an 
organized form (like a wiki page) is essential to effective group 
understanding. It's possible to miss or forget things that go by on 
a mailing list, especially when they're buried in long discussions, 
and it's really helpful to have a wiki page per project and someone 
diligently updating it after discussions.

This isn't easy, it's not perfect, and I'm not suggesting that 
anyone volunteer for such a job en masse.. lots of work. But let's 
remember that a concise summary of the outcome of a discussion will 
communicate more successfully to more people than if those people 
have to read the mailing list to figure out what happened.
