No. 'free run' is not safe and trust me, our wiki WILL be defaced by
spammers and bullshit.
This project is not open to all comers - we require people apply and
get vetted for extras access, for doc-writing access, for everything.
This should be no different.
If getting EditGroup access is so much of a barrier to entry that
someone will not contribute to documenting things then I doubt seriously
they are going to contribute much of use, anyway.
