There is something to be said for off wiki discussion.  Why do you think
these mailing lists get so much traffic?  People can start discussions in a
less formal setting before they take them to the pump.  It should also be a
place where members of the community can discuss things that are not
Wikipedia related.

I can.  I want to promote a relaxed atmosphere without allowing outing or
trolling.  It should be a place where editors can chatter idly and
brainstorm new ideas.  I hope that gives you an idea of what I am going for
here.
