As a side note we have people demanding that new mailing lists be set up for events management but at the same time existing lists like documentation and themes are running at or close to idle. It's pretty hard to keep defending that Drupal work be coordinated through drupal.org if we don't even use our own tools.
I've seen consistently that throwing technology at a problem does not create productivity. This includes mailing lists and wikis. I'm still trying to figure out how to get SocialText to stop mailing me at arbitrary times about "recent" changes in wikis that were made during and after Dean's campaign and haven't been touched since. I've seen more than a couple topical mailing lists do exactly this in DeanSpace and CivicSpace. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com/
