The fishbowl is missing some core functionality. They just don't work
efficiently. That's why people still prefer mailing lists (though they suck,
too, but to a lesser degree I think). We'd need automatic feedback (via
mail) if something changes (i.e. I'd like to be able to subscribe to
fishbowl wikis). We'd need something like version control, and much better
sorting, indexing, and structuring of all the information. It can't be too
hard to get that done, but certainly we are not there yet.
