Okay how about we leave write access to the wiki open to the public for now, and from time to time we review the git log to look for any signs of bad edits?  So long as we don't detect any such edits, and I think that it's most likely that we will not get any edits at all from outside, we can leave it open.  As soon as we see a problem starting we lock the wiki down...

The normal open source action for preventing problems like this is to leave
permissions open and monitor all changes.

Then respond to problems as they (rarely) arise.

​Yes, but if we leave the wiki open, then, how we can be sure if the wiki
wouldn't be destructed? For example, if would be added or removed some
lines deliberately or not. How and when we will know about it? It already
sounds wrong: "to verify changes after it's applying".

And a question is even not in spammers. Of course, they are dangerous, but
first of all, we talk about the quality of documentation. For example,
someone decided to document, that Drill can't do something, but in reality,
it does. Then, someone other, when reading this wrong information on the
official source of the project will believe in it. I think it's wrong and
it's dangerous.

Hi Maksym

This is a good point, thank you.  I wonder if we could restrict the wiki
to "collaborators", or whatever the relevant Github concept is for those
who are able to push to the code repo.  I also wonder if there is any
need.  Any destructive action could be reverted because the wiki is a
repository itself.  I wonder if desperate spammers go so far as to
deface open source project wikis, it wouldn't surprise me.

Hi all,

I just found that I can add and edit any page on Drill Wiki. So, it

means, that anybody can add and remove anything he would like. What do you
think about it? Whether project should have open documentation for all?

As I know, GitHub doesn't support pull requests for the wiki repository,

so it's a question of how should look process of changing Drill wiki. What
are your thoughts about it?

Maksym
