What about good, old-fashioned IRC for live discussion of outages, sharing of tracerts etc? The mailing list could then be used for planned outage announcements, updates of current outage status and other announcement-style posts.
The wiki could host less volatile information - tools, techniques, public NOC contacts, etc.
We have a mailing list, maybe soon a wiki. No IRC right now (yet) or our community would die. Gadi.

It occurs to me that this list may in the future be better served by two lists - one for outage announcements, and one for discussion. However, as this is currently the only list, I'll begin here.
One of the topics I would like to see on an outages wiki would be a list of sites one could check for outages. See http://www.bgp4.net/wiki/doku.php?id=links:network_status for an old example that never really got off the ground. I don't really care where such a list lives - but I've wanted one more than once. Does anyone have any good links?
What other kinds of topics would be good for an outages wiki? At first I was thinking that major outages (undersea cables, etc.) could be posted & available via RSS, but I don't see that being kept up to date well in the long run. Point being, someone would need to keep it up to date, and when things are really, really fubar, I imagine most of the people here will be busy with other things. ;-)
