I wonder if anyone has experience using mailing lists/listserv for regular business software development (ISV, in house, startup, consulting, etc.)? I know they're common, and work relatively well, for open source projects with decentralized teams. But I never really considered that it might be awesome for other types of software development. In particular, as I currently work for a consulting company. If all emails related to a project flowed through a mailing list then it could provide a nice and centralized spot for everyone, including people brought onto the project after the start, to reference and search past communication.
