Practically speaking its true that qualifying for the edit requirement is
pretty easy... But having to do so means that whatever your current
activities are they are insufficient to make you a voting 'member of the
community.'
Requiring developers or folks whose contributions don't translate well into
simple edit requirements to jump through hoops to be considered "one of us"
is not good even if the hoops are placed nice and low.

I'm just afraid I'm not gonna have the required
number of edits on any
one wiki. And I consider myself kind of "up to date" to be allowed to
vote.
Given that, unusually where suffrage is being determined, the closing
date
for the required level of activity is still over
a month away (rather
than
in the past), and that no differentiation is made
between minor
wikignome
edits and major copyedit rewrites, then I would
expect *anyone* who
wanted
to ensure their ability to vote would be able to
do so by finding 50
spelling and / or grammar mistakes. ie, imho, not a difficult hurdle to
leap by any stretch of the imagination.

Or wikification of Incubator articles on any active project would also do
the job. And this is the work which is badly needed anyway.
