Is there any chance I can see one of yours? I'm guessing you use the Wiki as a collaboration tool in preparation and then deliver the proposal in another medium, but maybe not. Please let me know! Laura Ricci Craig,

I have now added some text to explain the setup more fully for future visitors. Fact is, even before you checked out the blog I had (and still do) even left commenting open to those who choose to be anonymous, provided as mentioned that they fill out the 'captcha' graphic box.

However, blogs really aren't the ideal medium for most business communication. They don't go point to point like email and they don't compile consensus positions like wikis. I really can't think of a better way to write any sort of proposal than a wiki, actually. I haven't written them any other way for years. You’re making good use of the blog features all right.

You just don't see your comment immediately because they are sent to me for moderation when the writer is unknown (to me or the blogging software, I'm not sure.) My readers are pretty shy and so it's easy to keep up with the new comments and get them released into the wild pretty quickly. Thanks for commenting! Laura Tracy,
