Wikis are, quite simply, terrible for discussion. Maybe one day there will be a great replacement for the ":::::::::::::" madness, but until then, even mailing lists, antiquated and goofy as they are, are a vast improvement. People bring up the forum because this (foundation-l) is the central list for the Wikimedia Foundation. Anyone who thinks that this particular issue is outside of this list's scope is insane. Using internal-l as a substitute for an open discussion isn't appropriate or in line with Wikimedia's values.
