One of the biggest problems with "creating a proposal" is that the Wiki markup language is so painfully tedious I've taken pains to avoid it. People always say, "write it up in the Wiki" as though it's similar to writing a letter in a word processor. It is not. It's a process I've criticized in the past as being very difficult— it's one reason why many proposals aren't written up but simply acted upon.
