The "letter" of releasing Mediawiki to the public mean anyone can use it for any purpose, but the "spirit" dictates that if you don't intend to have people edit it in a "Wikipedia-style" fashion (ie We assume good faith here, so you start out with these editing privileges), then you need to go elsewhere.>>
I dont' agree with this feeling unless you mean "people" in a loose way. I don't want *anyone* to edit my own wiki. I encourage people to do so, but I will also block certain articles to signed-in users only, or block others to myself only.
I think that's my right as owner of my own wiki.
I would even encourage people who simply want to use the wiki to do simple mark-up. I mean want easier way to migrate into full HTML than using Mediawiki? What are the alternatives? I haven't seen one that makes it quite so easy.
I would however like a per-article option to *not save revisions*. Some articles just don't benefit from revision history.
