The ikiwiki project strongly encourages collaboration through ikiwiki itself, and thus does not have a mailing list. Anyone can create an account on ikiwiki's own wiki. ikiwiki provides a [[bug_tracker|bugs]], a [[TODO_list|TODO]], and "discussion" sub-pages for every page. ikiwiki developers monitor RecentChanges closely, via the webpage, email, CIA, and IRC, and respond in a timely fashion.

You could also drop by the IRC channel #ikiwiki on OFTC (irc.oftc.net).

... does not having a mailing list really encourage people to "collaborate through ikiwiki itself"? Personally, I strongly prefer to participate in mailing lists via my mail/nntp client. I follow over 50 mailing lists, so if I can't participate in a mailing list mail or nntp, I'll probably just not participate at all. I suspect there are others in my situation. I think that by not having an SMTP-driven mailing list, ikiwiki is passing up a big opportunity to build community. -- AdamMegacz
