-... does not having a mailing list really encourage people to "collaborate through ikiwiki itself"?  Personally, I strongly prefer to participate in mailing lists via my mail/nntp client.  I follow over 50 mailing lists, so if I can't participate in a mailing list mail or nntp, I'll probably just not participate at all.  I suspect there are others in my situation.  I think that by not having an SMTP-driven mailing list, ikiwiki is passing up a big opportunity to build community. -- AdamMegacz
