Google is about as far from a specifically collated and indexed set of 
information as you can get.  If you don't already almost know what you 
are looking for you are going to have a hard time sorting it out.  And 
worse, old, incorrect information never dies there.  A mail list 
provides timely/dated information but the questions and incorrect 
responses make it difficult to find the existing content.  A wiki takes 
a little extra effort to maintain, but allows each person who uses the 
content to tweak it for correctness and their use cases.
