My point is more or less the same one that you're making. Communications (too much and too little) and information overload are both challenges. I don't think there's going to be a silver bullet solution, but I hope that WMF will invest effort into addressing this set of problems during the next Annual Plan. Some of this is WMF-specific, but some of it also relates to how we've organized ourselves in the community through organic growth and over time we've developed so many channels that one wonders if we would benefit from some consolidation and pruning.
