There are two types of users in a Google project, members and owners.
Members have access to *everything* except the "project administration"
tab.  If a malicious user were added as a member, he/she could very
easily wreck the wiki because it's stored in an SVN repository, to which
he/she has full write access.

Does the Google project offer administrators an easy way to reverse edits? If it doesn't, then the above risk seems to me to be a redhibitory defect. The Wikibook project, which has the advantage of already hosting many Vim pages, does have a powerful history function, with a rollback tool for admins, and even a possibility for plain logged-in users to go back to the latest version before the act of vandalism.

Best regards,
Tony.
