Email is certainly a quick and easy environment for discussion.
The main drawback is that as threads go on, they become jumbled
together and it becomes increasingly hard to summarize the discussion.

I have no doubt we will continue to use it for initial discussion
simply for the convenience. ( And because we are a herd of cats! )

I would, however, like to see summaries end up on the wiki where they
can serve as living documents and a record of discussion.

The initial page can serve as a starting poiint for discussing topics,
the "make a plan" phase.  If the topics grow too long, we can factor
them out into separate pages.

For our Design doc/API doc, we originally talked about creating a
new api2_4 dir.  My original plan was to edit the epydoc files there
to serve as both design and doc for the updated api.

Since we are not doing that, I will create a wiki page instead that
we can use for the "write down the plan" step.  As I see it, the page 
will have a link for each module where we can lay out attribute names
and types, constants, etc.
