[Foundation-l] "Waiting Room" Wiki

If there would not be an article about the Simpsons
why not just create it eventually in your userspace
first if you're not sure enough? The sandbox can be
used 
for this purpose as well.

I see no use for a seperate waiting room which may be
filled with a lot of stuff that is barely organized.
