Exactly what it says. Integrate the lists into vBulletin so you basically end up with each mailing list looking like a forum (like General, maemo.org, Applications, etc.).

but this also seems like a lot of extra work over just using the forums for all Council communication.

As an aside, forums are generally frowned upon by developers/power users, who prefer email (or IRC for immediate discussion). One reason for this, imho, is that with email you can reply to a specific email and your archive/email software should know which one you were replying to and split the thread and display it as a load of branches depending on what you replied to. This is unlike the forum in which lots of sub-conversations go on all at once and it gets pretty painful once the thread grows to any significant size.
Now everyone's different, and you obviously prefer the forum style, but I don't think you will be able to persuade people that it is the best format. Integration is certainly a good thing if you prefer the interface though.
Just my 2p's worth.

we are less concerned about your what your doing, like updating wiki's, and more concerned with the decisions and preferences regarding the greater community.

About forum-list integration, yes the idea would be that some prefer mailing list, some forums but it doesn't matter since everybody share the same posts. No need to discuss this again (the previous time was only 3 days ago in another thread you started).

However, if this is not possible, I would support dropping mailing lists as formal line of communication from the council, and move all council discussions to talk.maemo.org.
As for IRC this is dynamic real time way to communicate that cannot be replaced. I do propose a place on talk.maemo.org similar to this http://tablethacker.com/wp/?page_id=30&lang=en-us Giving user on the site an ability to see whats happening on the IRC without loading a client. Additionally greater visibility to scheduled IRC meeting.
I honestly believe the best way to keep this community together and continue to grow into a place where the community is setting the direction on policy is to give complete transparency with all council communications.
I understand that saying there is no transparency in council, is mostly not true.

It is very clear to me, that council members preferences are heard louder within the maemo organization than standard users.
Just a little more info from my point of view (FWIW).
I like all of these proposed changes. Let's make them.
