Which makes idea to use forums easier to accept :)

I mentioned few times that distributed community should resort to different 
meeting medium and procedure. 

Forum via NNTP interface can be good, there is no lag, message is stored, and 
agenda can be discussed using one thread per topic, or list item, unlike this 
email discussion, it will be easy to focus on items that one wants to discuss 
and leave out those that are out of interest. 
Problem is that messages are not displayed, so reader has to go back and forth 
between messages to read discussion.

The web interface can be used too, but it should be way simpler then current. 
Something that will allow more lines per page, some indentation to mark 
threading. In short simulation of IRC window with ability to add comments 
right behind messages. Maybe that can be achieved with CSS?
