Hey @Miranda Sharp, good question! Yes, if we look at things like Github and Stackoverflow in the software world we can see how effective it is to connect technical people in this way. interestingly it creates a vital learning environment!
We had a similar approach, though much more clunky, in our IEC Smart Cities Systems Committee Terminology Working Group. We wanted to ensure that the members of the other working groups could suggest terms that needed definitions, could suggest definitions for those terms and could comment on the suggested definitions from others. It provided a great foundation for the Working Group to get going as we had a clear indication of the terms that were most important for our members and were able to begin from a position which made it much easier to build consensus on what the terms should be.
