'...As it is, three already busy committee members are the main editors.....'
<cough> <cough> !! ;-) (ps. I think Andrew's post sort of has cause and effect a bit bassackwards ;-) I see it this way - if engaging and growing membership is a priority then lowering the bar for engagement is a good thing. I have had quite a few conversations with folk who I believe would be quite interested in Chapter based activity, and I'd really like to say things like 'hey, head over to our wiki and you can sign up' or 'hey, that's a good idea, you should join our wiki, and we can work on it' - or even just organising having the ability to RSVP, leave a note or a question. I think wikis are wonderful collaborative environments, and (as others have said) it feels a bit odd to me to have to try and wave the flag for more open editing here - what about the old 'let's be bold, give it a go, and see!' approach? If the barbarians are at the gates, and the wiki gets taken over with nonsense we could just flip the switch back, no? Any Father Ted fans out there will know what I mean if I say 'ah go on... go on go on go on......' cheers, Peter, PM.
