That's a wiki problem(Currently we rely on people actually checking the news feed to get these things done), and I'm not sure if it could be fixed with any reliability. An IM system would be spotty in and of itself because it requires people to actually check their messages, and if someone doesn't know the answer to a question, they have to message someone else, and then THEY have to check their messages, and it just goes on and on. We do currently have a chatroom on-wiki, but no one frequents it because, well, no one frequents it so there's no reason. In general, we do have pages for things. So, say you have a question about the viability of a gun, you can check out the reviews page for a better look at it.
