I am for the moment active in some 15 wikimedia mailgroups. I have compared the working on foundation-l with internal-l for instance and find that almost the same topics are up with very much the same people and arguments, but where on internal a complicated issue can take 20-30 mails whereafter often some type a consensus is reached , I find on foundation-l some 200-300 mail in the same subject with no firm conclusion.
I'm sure you'd find the same sort of thing if you compared a town hall meeting in North Korea with a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. I wouldn't take very much comfort in that.
Anthony,
I'm not sure they ever have community meetings of any sort in North Korea, but generally a New England town meeting is a lot like Wikipedia. People who have a long history of being unconstructive blowhards are generally ignored.
