His name is Calacanis, and it's an old thread - but IMHO quite
relevant to the discussion about slowing growth.

Good WYSIWYG in a wiki is hard; even Wikia hasn't solved that
particular problem yet. Hopefully we'll make serious progress on it
next year.

The LiquidThreads discussion extension which could replace talk pages
is now in production use e.g. on WikiEducator.org ; all it needs is a
champion within the Wikimedia community.
