Believe me, we all want to see this as well, and having a more clear communications system for the cookbook (particularly comments on revisions, feedback on user-submitted content, and RSS feeds to track changes) are top-priority for the cookbook application. Unfortunately we're still a relatively small team with relatively few resources, and those resources are already being divided up among way too many tasks. The people on the team dedicated to things other than coding also have to worry about managing community sites like the Bakery, and reviewing, updating and contributing to the cookbook's content itself. With so many parallel efforts, it's hard to make time for everything, but believe me when I tell you that better editing and process-management tools for the cookbook are important and are on their way. Thanks for bearing with us.
