Hi David, Sorry, I didn't see this question on wikimedia-l. Yes, that use case is important. We've got some ideas about a multi-editable scratchpad space that's attached to the discussion thread -- it's early days on that concept, but as you said, we really need to be able to support drafts, and things like checklists, where multiple people are working through a list of tasks, discussing items and checking them off when they're done. A checklist feature is complicated, so we're a little ways away from that, but I know it's something that we need to build.
In the nearer-term, we're talking about what we need in order to open up editing of other users' comments. There are good reasons to do that; we just need to make some changes to the interface to support it. We'll be talking with interested people about this stuff a lot more over the next couple weeks, to get more ideas and thoughts.
