use a few of the publicity methods shown. Normal discussions do not
always need large amounts of input. A balance needs to be struck
between gaining sufficient input for consensus, and overwhelming a
discussion with too much input. Similarly, publicising minor
discussions makes it more difficult for editors to identify the major
discussions where their comments are more important."

It would be really good to be able to follow the number of hits a page
is getting in terms of *where* people came from to arrive at that
page, and hence get an idea of which forms of notification work best,
but I'm not sure that is technically possible or can be made public
for various reasons (if it was, it could involve ranking the links in
'what links here' by how many hits they were generating).

For developer-community interactions, the main problem is usually that
developers do work off-wiki and may be working to different
specifications to that that some editors on-wiki would prefer, and it
is not always clear how much flexibility there is, and whether
developers are following their preferences or whether it is software
and/or time and available resources that is constraining them. But an
important point for developers to pick up on is no matter how
brilliant the work they do, it won't get used if the community it is
written for don't like it, or react against it due to poor roll-out
methods.
