OK, I went through all the users (2100 or so) and toggled the obvious ones to be read only. Everyone else can add pages and make edits just like always. New users will need to be approved by an administrator and we'll jump on those requests as quickly as possible to keep the information flowing.
If you see spam, feel free to clean it up, or revert the page and please let me know the user and I'll revoke their privileges.
