I disagree.  IM does not provide for communication that can be 
looked-up, which is important.  I post something, many people will look 
at it and some of them will reply.  That is not possible with IM.  A 
mailing list is also sub-optimal.  A forum or bugzilla is needed where 
information/communication is stored and can be categorized and looked up.
