Why not do it at your Meta page of the project?
I had already asked some questions and shared feedback there.
It seems like a more pertinent place than Wikipedia, as you can attract people from WikiProjects from various sister projects there for a shared discussion.


Probably because of the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Not_my_wiki problem.
To get significant levels of *ongoing* participation, it's most efficient to have discussions somewhere that will show up in regularly-checked-watchlists, and most editors (afaik) don't check their meta watchlists very often.
Hopefully some combination of Flow, GlobalWatchlists, and GlobalNotifications, will eventually solve this perennial problem.

This.

Mind you, we do welcome feedback and whatnot on the meta page, especially from folks from other projects. While WikiProject X is itself enwp-facing, there are likely to be many lessons to be learned from these other projects, and if it is successful, this may also prove useful to them later as well.
