It's a time thing partly. By the time I've read the couple of hundred or so emails that arrive each day, done a day's work and spent at least some time with my family, time to start then reading web-based forums and then visiting wiki pages to see if there may or may not have been any discussion on them is time I rarely have. Email in that respect is much better for discussions and I see little difference between what people have to do to sign up for an email list from having to sign up for a wiki account. Also back in September I'd not really tried much wiki editing and not knowing how it all worked was a bit off putting working out how to edit just to comment; I know how to use email... I've learned a lot since by expanding the pages related to progress in places in Essex, and looking at the code that generates the maplint tests from the Map Features page, so if a proposal gets mentioned on this list I do usually go and have a quick look. It is unlikely I'd go back after the initial mention though, so perhaps there should be a post here to mention the start of each proposal phase and another saying that a phase will close in a certain number of days if no more comments/votes whatever are received. I think sometimes I see those here, but certainly not for all the proposals.
