The idea was to let every contribute to the documentation as easily as 
possible. Maybe that was a bit naive ;-) We get spammers once in a while 
that completely overwrite unprotected pages, but not to often. Anyway, 
it's easy to revert the page and then write-protect it if necessary. A 
wiki needs some maintenance, if you're not prepared to do this, then a 
wiki isnsn't the right thing, IMHO.

We had those a few (<20) times. I disabled their user accounts and so 
far it hasn't gotten out of control.
