I'm torn. Philosophically, I'm opposed to this, because it limits the one easy 
way we have for folks to contribute to the docs without jumping through a lot 
of hoops. However, in reality, how many people have we *ever* had contribute 
valuable content to the wiki from outside the group that's already on the 
mailing list. I don't know the answer to this, and I think that answer is 
important to this decision. On the one hand, we need to have some easy way for 
folks to contribute to the docs. On the other hand, it's my perception that 
nobody ever has. So I suppose it's a wash.
