I'm not sure how this meme got started, but nobody is advocating moving general discussion from the mailing list to the Wiki. What I _did_ say/mean was that as the Wiki grows, I would like to see the discussion of what content goes where (organization/structure), what other topics are needed, what existing topics need editing, etc., happen on the Talk pages of the Wiki itself, not here. Until the number of people actively contributing to the Wiki reaches whatever critical mass is necessary, most of that discussion is going to have to happen in this mailing list. That's a significant difference, obviously, and one that I believe respects the time of the people on the list that aren't going to be interested in such minutiae. > Being able to place documentation > where other people can find it, like you can do on a wiki, is great, > when you have something authoritative to say. Given the population of this mailing list, I can't think of any more authoritative source. Everyone from the people doing actual z/VM and Linux development, to the distribution providers, to the "old hands" at z/VM and Linux, to the brand new person is represented here.
