FTR, I'm not opposed to selectively opening the site (or more, certain namespaces) to public editing. I am firmly in agreement with Brian and John that the situation we're in does not permit a "free for all" as we have obligations and responsibilities (including under the Act) as an organisation which in part are met through our website, so it's a matter of figuring out how to maximise the pros while minimising the cons.
I would be more minded to support a proposal if we saw more members editing the wiki as they all have the right to do presently. cheers Andrew On 17 November 2010 11:43, Nathan Carter <cartma...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 10:56 PM, John Vandenberg <jay...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Another option is for non-members to be restricted to talk pages on > > the main wiki.
