My opinion is that that wikipedia-style wiki is the best. It's scalable,
it proved itself, i think it's easy on admins, afaik it's used not only by
wikipedia.
Regarding anonymous contributions, they proved problematic on vim.org/tips.
Anonymous contrib was what created uneditable tips in the first place
on vim.org/tips. The idea was "only the author can edit the post", but
since anonymous tips have no registered authors, they are totally
uneditable,
which is hardly an advantage.
I question the value of anonymous posts. First. Are we exchanging the
rootkits
or pirated software ? We are not. What is the value of anonymous in
the opensource community ?
Second. If someone can remain anonymous, he can register as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and remain anonymous but still having registration.

*.wikipedia.org allows anonymous users (shown as a dotted-quad) to edit
anything; but their edits, if seen as malicious, will be reversed with less
qualms that those of any username-password user. Also, 123.45.67.89 is not a
proof-of-identity (I'd say most people today are, like me, on
dynamically-addressed connections) but at least it gives you an idea of which
country and ISP the culprit is from.
Best regards,
