Opening up a local spot for feedback drastically increases the amount of feedback you get which can be really helpful. Personally I think we should do it on as many wikis as we can for major projects like this but it's obviously difficult to do on many because of both the language barriers and watching too many feedback channels. Yet another thing that once a product like Echo works cross wiki it could be helpful for :) but that's a bit of a ways away.
