Hello:

I can confirm that search committees do sometimes post updates, although, given the anonymity of the site, it is hard to say overall how frequently this happens. It's only clear when SCs identify themselves (as they do on occasion). There have been a couple of instances where posters identified themselves as SC members, but other posters disputed that for various reasons. So I would say, roughly, yes, SCs do post here, but the frequency varies a great deal: some SCs are very familiar with and comfortable with using the wiki, others may have never heard of it. It really depends on who is on a given SC. This is a public site, and open to all editors (unless they are banned for spam or abuse) so it's safe to assume anything posted here could get back to an SC and also that some information posted may come from SCs. It's just difficult to give a precise measure of how much. Anyway, hope this helps.
