Dear Korakurider,
I was planning to set up a Google Group for the GSoC project only and it would be a test. I would restrict the group to invited members. After reading the blog that seems the best move. What does the group think? If it doesn't work, we can abandon it.

Randall, my experience and comment was about public forum, not about closed group like your GSoC project. It could be managed to run well if only invited member can participate.

Someone mentioned it was possible to moderate the first post of any new member. That should be rather effective against spam.
But what we're really looking for is something that can be used as web forum as well as mailing list, sans spam. We had to shut down our own forums-list gateway because of the spam issues in the forums. But that makes the forums ineffective, since the most active contributors read only the mailing list, not the forums.
Google groups sounded like it might be a good solution. But alternative ideas are welcome :)
