It possibly requires both.  A mailing list by itself
tends to generate great thoughts that don't get finished
by being turned into summaries.  Also, those in charge
tend to slow the process, just through being too busy.
(I'm not talking about just this list, I've noticed
the effect on RFC lists where the editor wakes up after
a week and skips all the debate and starts again.)
A wiki working with a mailing list might address both
those issues.

(It's just a guess, I've never really worked with a
Wiki, just read some entries over at wikipedia.)
