Or you could copy-and-adapt. Letting everyone edit everyones tools is -
from a security perspective - just plain stupid. The owner of a tool is
responsible for it, not some 'list of persons'. I'd rather suggest pushing
people to use SVN than to put source code on a wiki.
I could copy-and-adapt, and then everyone who relies on this tool (including
other tools) would have to adapt to my copy.
Of course, if such a wiki would be made, only select people would be able to
edit the code, and if there is a security breach, you would be able to see
who did it, like now.
