A FAQ typically provides answers to "frequently asked questions" about 
the forum/mailing list/website itself. It's sort of a beginner's/users 
guide to what the forum/mailing list/website is all about and how to use 
it.

A wiki is a repository of accumulated information and more encyclopedic, 
to be used as a reference source. It's more of an agglomeration of 
accumulated knowledge on the subject matter.

a forum format, but who also knows there are a lot of list members who 
are strongly against that...
