It seems unlikely to me that a Wiki would be the right medium for this, and expecting people to provide summaries of discussions is something I would find problematic in practise, and I am not sure how the existing errata system doesn't handle this already, but it should be easy to in- stall an RT system akin to the one attached to CPAN. When you find some problem with a Perl module, you can send mail to bug-<dist>@rt.cpan.org and your mail, alongside replies, with the possibility to close issues and other things you might expect of a bug tracking system. This could be done for each RFC aswell (fancy issues like problems with multiple ones and the corresponding cross-posting included). Another option would be to simply collect links people found relevant, some W3C Working Groups employ a system that lets you say "keyword" in a mail and the mail will be linked from a tracking system, hopefully by now there is also an IRC interface to that, so you can tag messages at later points. Collective discussion curating, let it even be as simple as being able to "tag" certain messages and share those tags, so you'd be able to, say, mark frequently asked questions thus so the FAQ can be updated to cover them, is a feature I always missed in Usenet. The only vaguely working system that has since developed this that I know of is the family of StackExchange sites, but those do not really translate to this. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@xxxxxxxxxxxx · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
