[Wikimedia-l] Proposal to use the internal wiki more

[Federico Leva (Nemo)]

The question by Florence on contacts is still pending. :)
I know/think officewiki is used for most WMF internal contact info, 
except emergency contact info hosted (also) elsewhere (or on dev' 
mobiles :p ) for when the cluster is down. Something more general and 
scalable would be nice.

Given that the thread is dormant (WMF board members nothing to say?), we 
could maybe look at best practices around Wikimedia.
For instance, WMDE recently (2011) created a private wiki ("forum") for 
its members, to foster discussion and collaboration within the 
association (all of it: board, office, members). AFAICS, WMDE has always 
used mainly Meta talk pages and the public list for their general 
discussions, but the private wiki was an effective addition to broaden 
participation. I see it's fairly active, with over 17k edits. It seems 
that one «place to work together» is always a better solution than none.
