Hi all,

That can only work when HQ wants to/can allocate resources to check this,
but otherwise I would agree that that would be the best option.

Or do away with the Wiki altogether and use a different platform
communicate to our audiences. I only see 20 useful edits per day:
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?namespace=0&title=Special%3ARecentChangesen
about 50 accounts created on that same day.

It really depends on what the underlying idea is of using a wiki. That's
the true issue that HQ needs to discuss, either internally of with the
community.
