Oh good grief, I hope this never gains any traction -
who would 'filter' applications? You? Me? (!) Having
people wander in randomly and contribute is key to the
success of WP.

The wiki way is publish first, filter later.
Perhaps the wiki way can be applied to articles but
not to people. I see
nothing wrong with filtering new applications for
user accounts. Not everyone
can be a good contributor to a wiki and most people
care more about
themselves and their private interests rather than
the WP, it is makes
perfect sense to filter people who want to join.
The wiki way doesn't need to be extremist: Centrist
solutions work better.
