This is something we would love to address in our organization. Between
email, chat, multiple wiki discussion/Flow pages, and issue trackers (like
Phabricator/GitHub/GitLab), it's difficult to ensure everyone is included
in the conversation and to prevent repetition across multiple conversations.
One approach we use in our wikis at NASA is to tag articles as "Related to"
other articles. Then we can have a query on each page showing everything
that is tagged as "Related to {{PAGENAME}}". We use Semantic MediaWiki for
this, but I'm sure many other approaches could provide similar
functionality. If Flow (or even core MW) could allow for a section of a
page to be tagged as "Related to" other articles, you could somewhat
automate linking. This would probably help people discover related
conversations.
Another idea I'll throw out there is something we have submitted to a few
grant proposals, called Wiki Conversations [1]. Basically, a tool allowing
users to "CC" a wiki, so the content is then "wikified" and linked to
related articles. So conversations like this one could be linked to the
Flow and Echo discussion pages.
