Most certainly I have not seen suggestions to replace the wiki with
mailing lists.  I believe everyone is for a good documentation
structure.  The issues I had in mind is how we can improve over the
current situations.  I was giving my feedback about what need
improvements.

There was not direct mention of mailing list, but previous posts
mentioned that they did not see the use of the Wiki. Wikis are a
better way of collaboration. You can see how every major Open Source
project have put in place a wiki for this purpose.

From past experience, I've been able to find most information I need
about GCC by going directly to the main website and lookin up in the left
section (that changed last couple of week, but that is a different
story).

I do agree with you that maybe certain things could be done in the
front page to access the information faster. This is always the goal.
Probably improvement to the links can be done. Bill has pointed out
that the wiki has an index in the frontpage. I did not know that and
it is very useful. Maybe it should be place in another place, more
visible in the frontpage. Also, including a Search label, for the
label text box, maybe people miss it some times.

I just wanted to comment in the importance of the Wiki and the great
work that the
axiom-developer wiki is.

Regards,
