I know that you are not proposing to have visible names, but I think
the same thing applies to "ownership" that is shown when a page is
edited. Other than that, page subscriptions should do the job fine?
And why can't the editors be responsible for all of the Wiki? I think
it is better if abuse is fixed by the first person who spots it,
rather than a special moderator.
I can't really see what purpose this proposal serves ;).
Because I did not do a good job of asking my question using correct
words :-D English is not my native language (excuses, excuses).
First of all, I am not talking about things like spam and abuse. As I
mentioned in my reply to Ralph's question, the editorial team must
take care of these problems. In other words, everyone monitors every
page.
My question is concerned with the *contents* of wiki articles.
Suppose the original author or the current "maintainer" says, "I want
to keep this page under good control by limiting edit rights to
designated people", how would we respond? We can say, "Sorry, you are
against the goal of the Wiki. You cannot do that". Or, we can assign
him/her as the "moderator" of that page and let him be the primary
contact (internal only, the name not visible to general readers).
Hope I described my question/point better this time. :-)

For me, the second scenario is more or less what we have at present, and
the first scenario is what we are proposing moving towards?
Again, I am in favour of moving towards a more open Wiki. I believe it
sits better within the philosophy of an open source project and is in
keeping with the spirit of the creative commons license that
contributions are published under. I can't see how a half-way solution
would work, for me it's either one or the other. It makes little sense
to me to have some pages open and others restricted.
As a matter of courtesy, it would be nice if contributors posted to this
list before making substantial contributions and/or changes, but minor
edits should require nothing more than registering an account and making
the edit IMHO.
