I was about to respond by agreeing with Dori and saying, "Let's play with one!" but I think John has a point. If the wiki replaces some of the e-mail threads, then it will fragment the list. Some people will comment on things via the wiki, and some will do it via e-mail. Most people may never know what's going on in the other format unless they make it a point to seek out what's been happening (I can't say that I have the time to be that ambitious). Can or should the e-mail based list be replaced with a wiki rather than having a wiki in addition to the list? Would there be any advantages or disadvantages to it? What happens if more than one person is trying to add to a wiki page at the same time? Is it like when two people have the same file open--either the last one to save wins and wipes out what the other person did or the last one to save can't save because the file changed since it was opened? I'm not that familiar with wikis, blogs, and the like, so please forgive me if my questions and ideas seem naïve.
