Since you added the Talk function, one could just post the skill as a page, then we could hash out discussions there. A perhaps better idea would be to stick with what we've been doing: talk the ideas through first, then post them formally.

The strength of wikis is also something of a weakness here. That is, either we risk no one actually doing a formal write-up after the discussion, or we risk hurt feelings (and losing contributions) as someone makes direct changes that someone else disagrees with. These are the things edit wars are made of.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but here is my proposal: Fully formed ideas just get posted and tagged appropriately. If desired, a post here pointing to the skill or talk page could be added. Less fleshed-out ideas get a forum thread first. Once the skill is worked out, someone--anyone not just you, I, or the OP--adds the skill as an article page.
