The example from Nigel was, "Do packagers and translators really want to
read about using prompts in example commands?"

I think the f-docs-l topic range is much wider than a wiki-specific
list.

I've kind-of felt the similar situation to what Nigel describes, not
knowing where to go _and_ invite people as a definitive wiki discussion
place that is not otherwise project specific.

The fact we use the wiki as a documentation writing tool is sort-of
coincidental.  Another project could write all their docs in the Trac
wiki, and if enough people cared, they might want a fedora-trac-list to
talk about how to use Trac more effectively, etc.

Part of this is that we have always made a separation of "requirements
when writing for Fedora Docs" and "how to use the wiki as an effective
writing tool".  I still think that is a good separation. :)
