The wiki that James Beckett runs for the games weekend is being utilised by everyone - it's really easy to use, with basic markup. It's no harder to write an entry using wiki markup than it is to manually add an LJ-cut to your blog entry or add a link.
The wiki format doesn't stop "conversation" happening. If anything, it encourages it, with a looser layout than forums or mailing lists. (i.e. no stricture of reply position, no need for quotes, anyone can amend/correct).
Also, you can choose to get a notification of any change; or a digest of the latest edits. This reply in LJ will only send a notification to Nick and Mark, and not at all to Ruth, to whom it's also pertinent, which is clearly broken. The chances of anyone bar Nick/Mark reading this post are also very slim...
