Just wondering if this list gets very much use. Any ideas? Wouldn't this be the appropriate place for the whole "game guides" discussion? Thanks. --LV

No, such debate should be completely public, only a small number of people use this list. I see this list as place for perhaps some less formal discussions (like commenting important articles and blog entries about Wikibooks) and cross-project coordination (like informing about new MediaWiki features). Some of these topic should be forwarded to staff lounge or bulletin board, but there are many topics that are irrelevant for most users (like very specific software changes or discussing blog entries).

Seems fine. I just know that for Wikipedia, at least, overall topics not dealing with the encyclopedia, such as some policy work, is not supposed to happen on-wiki. That is what meta and the mailing list was for. I didn't know if it would be better to be having, at least part of, the discussions there. Oh well. --LV

We should publicize the list, then. A lot of policy discussions work much better in email that on wiki, in my experience.

Not that there was much community input sought before any action took place anyway with the game guides policies.

It would be great for me if it were, since I get a ton more work done when I am offline than when I am online.
