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 stillrevert to an earlier version.Ok, then I hereby officially appeal to portmgr.@portmgr: Do you approve of a change to the wiki permission policy to the effectthat 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.
I can have Trac send email when a wiki modification happens. I actually use this to monitor all of the wikis on Mac OS Forge. So if you want me to add portmgr or -dev to that email, then you dont have to watch the Timeline page. (it emails a diff, comment, username, IP, etc).
