development wiki with blog stuff.
There are already two development wikis. One is at
http://mediawiki.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and never used. The
other is at
http://wp.wikidev.net/Main_Page which makes more sense
than
dev.wikimedia.org would because it means the developers still
have their stuff to work from when Wikimedia's servers are down.
The ability to add something blog-like to an existing wiki page would
be better than having to have it outside the wiki. You lose the
advantages of recent changes, watchlists, contributions lists etc if
you have to use an external forum. I think this why the Wikimedia
Boards at
http://boards.wikimedia.org never took off.
