I agree that is a good value in using the wiki Talk: pages, I hadn't
thought about that.

One challenge is wiki doesn't email updates on changes unless you i)
watch the page, and ii) respond to each update (or it stops sending
you email.)

So we need to be diligent about making sure students see comments each
time.

Also, when another person is commenting it helps to see the other
previous comments. That is harder when they are spread around.

Perhaps the mentor for the project can copy comments from the Talk:
page to Melange?
