Hi,
I created a yahoo group for people interested in continuing the discussion on "Community vs. centralized development" as well as up to date wiki backups. Please join if you want to help to keep the Wikimedia foundation part of the community or just like chatting about it! Here is the group link:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wikishare/
"In this group topics are discussed related to the Wikimedia Foundation's relationship to the community of volunteer developers and users, as well as distribution of wiki backups and image backups. Two main goals of the group are to ensure that Wikimedia foundation development is community centered and also to have up to date full history Wikimedia Foundation wiki's and wiki images freely available for download."
cheers, Jamie

Careful there, wikitext-l may have come up with something slightly useful. You never know what might breed in such a swamp.

When it's even remotely usable in MediaWiki, then maybe I'll take notice.
I've come to learn that "parser rewrites" are largely vaporware, so pardon me if I'm a little skeptical.

Why decentralized discussions even more? And is there a reason you always seem to spilt your replies to the thread into new treads/topics instead of just replying to the original one?

Except when one "forgets" to change the subject and everything becomes impossible to follow, even with the best threading view...

I see absolutely no reason to move this discussion to a separate place. Fragmentation like this is one of the things that's being criticized in this thread, and I believe this issue is important enough to involve the entire community rather than requiring people to subscribe to Yet Another Mailing List.
