Joe, I'm all for discussion & being kept informed about the summit. (And
if I wasn't I'd just delete the email & continue on with my life.)
My point was whether this mailing list was the most effective medium to
use to inform & solicit comments. Except for announcements about the
Portland Wikisocials, & the occasional email echoed from another list,
it's been years since anyone posted to this list. I don't know if anyone
else reads this besides you & me.
And to everyone else: if you're a member of Cascadia Wikipedians
following this, please pipe up & disprove that assumption. More traffic
on this list wouldn't hurt.
