Along with the web site, a convention might maintain one or more e-mail [[mailing list]]s, for the purpose of discussing or disseminatinig information about aspects of the convention, or for use among convention planners.  An e-mail mailing list has the advantage of being targeted to interested parties who can hold discussions among themselves as needed.  It has the disadvantage that information in e-mail can be passed around freely, and perhaps out of context to the original discussion.
