we have all known for a long time. I believe that the core problem is
not a lack of information flow, but excessive flow of raw information
which makes it hard for anyone to keep up with it all.
Yes, this is exactly the problem. For someone like me, for whom
Wikimedia is an avocation and not a vocation, there simply isn't
enough time to read all of the huge morass of information that is out
there -- spread out over a dozen mailing lists and a dozen wikis, not
to mention other sources -- required to form a fully informed opinion.
This definitely hampers my overall participation.
