Meh. Personally, I'm not a big fan of wikis. They aren't an automatic win for every documentation problem. They require a lot of gardening effort if they are going to be useful resources. My experience has been that in most cases, this effort would be more effectively spent on other tasks. On top of that, by using the wiki to provide a place where we are documenting new ideas, we are effectively providing an off-list forum that is doing exactly the thing we are trying to avoid - discussion of new features. The "searching old mailings" problem isn't really as big as you make it out to be. If any new idea is to make it to trunk, it will need an individual to guide it through the commit process. If an idea can't survive a couple of weeks without community attention, then it probably isn't going to make it to trunk. Consider it a 'trial by fire' for new ideas. :-) However, if you are particularly enthused about this idea, then go right ahead. The wiki is open for all to contribute - maybe you can prove me wrong on the value of wikis.
