O-yummy indeed.

we do have keepers of the wiki, but nothing stops of they aren't
around, or are too busy. An active community can work around inactive,
antagonistic or plain unhelpful keepers. Bottom up works well in the
wiki -- up to a fairly high level of traffic where you start needing
tools to deal with bad behaviour on controversial pages. Let's say
it's a good problem to have :-)

There is one scenario where a cms is better than a wiki: if your
community is so small as to be nonexistant. In that case, a wiki will
be overrun with vandals. But any minimally active community can keep
the wiki tree green.

cheers,
