Wiki modification requires committer privileges.
I think it would benefit the project if we losen this policy.

I fully agree. We should allow wiki edits for everyone logged in.
This
opens up more possibilities to contribute to MacPorts, e.g. in the
howto/*
section.
Trac's wiki has a history, so if anyone makes "wrong" edits, we
can still
revert to an earlier version.
I agree as well. It certainly isnt a technical limit. Its a policy
decision
by macports management. I can relax the requirements if they agree
to it.
Ok, then I hereby officially appeal to portmgr.
@portmgr: Do you approve of a change to the wiki permission policy
to the effect
that every logged-in user can edit?

With my PortMgr hat on, I'm willing to loosen up a bit on this
particular requirement and experiment for a while to see how it goes.
I totally love Wikipedia, but I'm sure they have many more resources
than us to deal with the side effects of such openness, e.g. wikispam.
So it'd be great if we could keep a close eye on the Trac timeline for
unwanted Wiki edits, also looking out for legit edits but with
misleading information.
Does James have anything to say about this?
