Making it easier to contribute is always going to cause more lower quality content to be submitted, since the unmotivated arent weeded out. But there are plenty of good people that also would get weeded out. I think this debate has a lot in common with the perenial debates on wikipedia to futher restrict anons and non autoconfirmed users. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
