[Uncloaking]
Yes, this is very old, and frankly with the "completion of wikipedia" on horizon my thoughts on the subject are probably irrelevant now.
One could argue that Wikipedia needs *less* general participation at this point, and more "expert" (or targeted, or focused, whatever) participation. What % of your work is policing/reverting vs. evolving I wonder? How has that changed over the past five years?
Perhaps making it hard to edit *is* a blessing today... Intended or not.
Of course, you folks would know better than me... At Mahalo we use wikimarkup and not wysiwyg, so I'm haven't solved the issue and I have seven f/t devs!
Rock on,
