I know of places that combine forums (phpBB) + wiki + e-mail + IM/IRC.  
Each technology is good for different niches/problem spaces.

  IM/IRC (instant messaging/internet relay chat) - rapid 
feedback/debugging/troubleshooting
  phpBB - evolving discussions with lag
  wiki - summaries/notes with links to phpBB or IM
  e-mail - send notices to others to check wiki
