This is the trouble with trying to have active information flow on closed wikis. How about an open wiki, with protected pages, and protected page-creation?
I would like to see a foundation-website which was an analogue to Wikisource -- with mission statements, founding papers, official presskits and bios, the latest brochures and publications and presentations -- and a well-ordered section of meta (a new namespace? perhaps just an excellent portal) devoted to the Foundation.
One reason that the meta main page hasn't developed as beautifully as other main pages is that it's hard to pin down what it does -- meta has so many faces. Something like the eve-online.com main page would be a worthy experiment, with both foundation meta-info, community info and project features, statistics, and outside-world news (trophy box notes, press clippings -- btw, can we move on to a trophy shelf now? )
Fact is, if nothing is written at all, either the opinion will be that we do nothing, or it will be that we are not transparent.
Yes, the best intentions of transparency are only as good as the quality and quantity of information flow. Most important is definitely to encourage more writing, by more people, about more subjects.
