True. I wasn't thinking complete as-is cross-posting. Say, for example, that
Wiki posts are sent to a mailing list (suitably auto-fake-quoting for
context), or put into a bulletin board under the same scheme. Replies to
those may or may not go back into the Wiki, depending on how you want to
work things and whether the Wiki maintains its own comments sections for
each entry or not.
Posting to a Wiki is still, topologically, a conversation. So I think
they're viable things for some sort of inclusion in the planned grand
tranhumanist information exchange.
