That's right but, with mailing list you receive ALL the messages but 
with a forum you receive only subjects you subscribe.

I imagine a forum with:
	- topics for the language (resources, tutorials, ...)
	- topics for the environment
	- topics by projects,
	- topics for FAQS,
	- topics by contry, state, ...
	- ....

It's very difficult to found information only with keywords. I think 
it's really important to organize messages to share all this knowledge 
about squeak. I'm a "new squeaker" and for me it's harder to found 
information about squeak than any other language/environment.

I think a forum is better than a mailing list because of users can organize discussions by themes and, users can subscribe to subjects or kind of subjects to follow discussions. Furthermore, everybody can easily consult old messages and users with rights can manage the organizations of subjects. If you want more details you can read features of phpBB here: <http://www.phpbb.com/features.php>http://www.phpbb.com/features.php
