Hi Milos,
this has been tried, with little or no success. My feeling was that
there simply is too little that motivates people to join and contribute
on a general list. Or maybe marketing wasn't good enough.
The Wiki Symposium has a couple of lists:
1. wiki-research
2. wiki-standards
3. wikisym-announce
Only list 3 is Wiki Symposium specific.
Then there is the Semantic Mediawiki list (swikg). Max Voelkel had
created a general list (wikig) in 2006 list but it died quickly due to
lack of interest. For that reason, I never created a wiki-general list
on the WikiSym mailing list server.
I don't want to be too pessimistic, but what has changed? What specific
topics would you discuss on a general list?
Thanks,
Dirk

I think that community needs a general wiki list. Such

used for wiki projects in general, not only for WM projects.
For example, if someone wants to discuss about his/her idea for a new
wiki project, (s)he needs a general place to do that. In general, such
talks on wikipedia-l or foundation-l lists are off topic. Or if people
want to talk in general about wiki projects, it should be discussed
there.
And I think that it should be hosted by WM because it is the center of
wiki world.
Anyone against it? :)
