Dan, I think where people have questions is when specifying functionality for a fairly complex new feature it's easier to make revisions to a document than to have long complex emails going back and forth. I think the wiki was seen as a possible way to facilitate the discussion in a very open, but more convenient way. Have you seen anything work well in other projects besides just raw email? Is it ok to use Word documents? Should they be attached to Jira tickets and when someone makes comments the email goes out to the list?

You cannot do that yet. Avantika has not submitted an ICLA and the document on the JIRA does not have the "grant to apache" thing checked. Thus, legally, we cannot accept it for anything official. > Currently there aren't any "discussion" style pages. Can a mentor please > advise on best practices for this?
