Having an editable area (whiteboard), outside the discussion thread, would benefit the review process, without having to create/reference documents offsite.

Having a format besides plain text (basic html tags, some kind of wiki, etc) would be a big help.  At the very least: bold, italic, headings, and lists.

Sample items that might appear on this whiteboard:

- A checklist of items to complete, in progress, and completed
- Documentation
- Release notes
- Advise on how to test

This seems like a candidate for a plugin, not something that should be built-in to Gerrit.

Perhaps it could be implemented as a plugin, but this is generic across all use cases, and I can't imagine a workflow that would not benefit from a basic implementation this out-of-band shared text area.

Whether it is implemented as a plugin, or in the core, or as a plug that just happens to be enabled by default, it would be useful.

I am suggesting this not as a plugin because I feel it would welcome across all installations as a standard feature by the entire userbase.

It's already implemented: Wiki like markdown files, that are rendered as HTML in this series [1]. Combined with  inline editing series (pending for review) [2] you get full fledged WIKI.
