i'm wondering, does that include something like stackexchange.com ?

i know that it's not free software, but i'm wondering whether you are saying that a static documentation plus a mailing list is superior to something like stackexchange (i.e. a modern forum engine with tags and all the bells and whistles, and it's well-integrated into general search engines)?

because that would go against my experience, very much.
