Okay, but it seems like several employees (including you) already knew this, and several volunteers (including me) did not. This implies that there's some communications channel that employees are reading, but not volunteers. Is it some public place that we just don't visit? If so, where? Or do you have internal face-to-face meetings, private mailing lists, something like that?
Most of this communication happened by internal e-mail (we don't have an internal mailing list, but we do have some group e-mail aliases that are mostly used for, well, internal stuff, mostly stuff that's not ready yet or just not interesting to the general public). Some of it happened in #wikipedia_usability , which is a public channel keeping public logs. Of course most of the usability team are in the same office, so obviously face-to-face conversations and meetings happen; these are not necessarily "internal" or "secret" or whatever, just a natural consequence of being in the same room.
Again, as Ryan pointed out, we started out exploring Selenium for internal usage only; he described that pretty well, so I won't elaborate on that.
