We could also set up a separate, moderated list. The moderator could  
fail to post off-topic messages. It would also permit those of us  
with daft schedules and travel plans to participate.

The only issue I can think of is whether the protocols associated  
with that have sufficient standardization. What if, for example,  
someone were to send a forged message to the moderator.

Please? Could we? It seems to me that not only is Jabber something  
that discourages participation, as it requires such a meeting to be  
scheduled along with the rest of life, but it doesn't actually work.

I think a moderated DKIM-issues list might be the best way to handle  
issues.
