I'm not sure what you mean by a "free-for-all" wiki. genunix requires a login to edit the wiki. Do you mean that the new opensolaris portal will restrict what project pages you can add, much like the current portal?
To help clarify things, I think it would be helpful to have a proposed, high-level view of how a user will navigate and use the new opensolaris portal. It's difficult to translate the requirements into what the new portal is exactly going to provide. BTW, just providing a WYSIWYG editor for a wiki doesn't mean the wiki syntax is hidden from the user. For every wiki I've used (and I've used a lot), the WYSIWYG editor only gets you so far. Users will always need to understand the syntax at some point, which is why the multiple wiki syntax is still an issue.
