I don't think so.
Platonides is right, it's not clearly part of our
current mission -
though it does facilitate some types of collaboration, mail threads
are parallel to our notion of talk pages. There's certainly something
to be gained from thinking about what our mailing lists provide that
LiquidThreads* does not, and identifying/supporting efforts to improve
that channel for conversations.
(*This is our current concept of threaded discussion in the context of
directly collaborating on some sort of lasting knowledge)
But just as we don't support multiple wiki platforms or mailman
itself, we aren't generally a project host. Have you talked to the FSF
about hosting such a service, considering your FOSS focus?

Thanks for your opinion. I did not think about the FSF, that's a good idea and I
will contact them.
Ram.
