Do you feel that weblogs are bad models for debates?
I find the wiki and weblog tools available today to be inferior to mailman for debates, and it will take alot of work to develop WikiNG into a serious contender. I suspect the sticky points will be: 1. The ability to read without continuous network connection. 2. A user interface that is not encumbered with transatlantic http round-trips for each user interaction.
I think they're [weblogs] pretty good least-common-denominators.
i see them [weblogs and wikis] as better than just email...
(Ive snipped those two comments out of context, and I hope it doesnt misrepresent Ken) I agree email alone is inadequate.... Please dont misunderstand me: I am *not* advocating that. Wikis work well for consolidating documents once a rough concensus has been reached. My preference is that the discussion leading up to that concensus takes place on zope-dev.
