 > Right now, people who are not contributors/developers can only make
 tickets and comment on tickets.  If they should be able to create/edit
 wiki pages, then thats certainly possible. I leave it to MP management to
 decide what authenticated users should be able to do.  If MP management
 can monitor the changes and report the spam, we'll do what we can to
 filter it on the server end of things.

 I've been thinking about this issue and currently I don' think it's wise
 to open up our Wiki to non-committers. I get nausea just by remembering
 how we had to deal with massive amounts of spam on a daily basis back on
 the OpenDarwin Wiki.

 I do, however, want to encourage non project members to contribute with
 stuff like documentation, tutorials, HOTOWs, etc. Please don't refrain
 from writing any text you think might help the project, and go ahead and
 submit it (them) as attachment(s) to tickets assigned to the
 [milestone:"Website & Documentation" Website & Documentation] milestone.

 Thank you for your understanding!
