I can easily set up a copy of phpBB or similar, 
it's more do we really want to, 

as briefly discussed in the first meeting, web forums are a pull
technology, you have to actively remember to go and check them for
updates, where as mailing lists are push, updates come to you.

I can setup any number of mailing lists easily, its all running on my
own hosted server anyway.

hardest part is naming it, community at ...  or discuss at ... ?
