It seems a bit odd.
Says who?
I thought it was a very good idea, and to me it's putting Meta to a very
good use. So far, I've never really understood the point in meta other
than collecting humorous articles and a few philosophical discussions
about the Wiki principle which mirror stuff already on MeatBall.

There are two principles in meta, which do not exist on MeatBall. First
it allows anyone to post (and not people under their real name as in
MeatBall) and second it allows to do so in any languages (while MeatBall
is english first of all, french possibly second).
I'll add that Sunir was a bit tired to see so many wikipedians at some
points, as the experience we were reporting was not the experience of
the hightest majority of wiki, but the one of a rather unique case. He
feared this would come to principles being reported being applicable to
large wikis predominently.
Remember this :

There are some professionals (business) who now hesitate to set up a
wiki for their firm, as they think "it will be a very small community,
only a big community can really work on a wiki as wikipedia shows. We
are not numerous enough".
Just thoughts. I regret we do not hear much more of Sunir any more :-)
