I'd totally support this. The mailing list format moves fast and loses
things fast; a wiki format would give us a little more space to breathe.

The mailing list format is all well and good, but
it's led to problems;
people are talking "too much", there are concerns about editing attitude,
and it's a relatively obscure and odd-to-wrangle interface for those not
familiar with it. In addition, the structure of mailing lists by default
means that things that suggestions which aren't immediately popular tend to
drop off the face of the earth. With the usability and Strategic Plan
projects, a dedicated wiki was created where people could turn up and
discuss ideas and projects in a far more open and easily navigable format.
Would it be an idea to create
gendergap.wikimedia.org, or
outreach.wikimedia.org, or *something*, where we could apply that open and
familiar format to this problem as well?
