Mailing list
-mailman has already a moderation system

Wiki
- surely a mess:
- to post something you need to know how Wiki syntax works
- moderation is so difficult because you don't have a cue and have to

Web Form
- needs development
- needs moderation too
- doesn't offer public debate ("can you please refine your offer?!?", 
"I'm not sure what you want to say about...", ecc.)

my 0.02 € again
