I think this is a good approach (since the groups are moderated anyone in there has passed *some* minimum barrier of course) but I wonder about some of the logistics:
- how would a user account on one or more of the discussion lists get 'translated' to the wiki? (e.g., would this be a 'manual' process or is there some way to automate it that I'm not aware of?) - would we immediately/proactively attempt to 'migrate' or 'import' existing discussion group accounts over to the wiki or would we envision a more as-needed approach (such as on-request, etc.)? - would the user group be flooded with distracting "please create an account for me on the wiki" -type postings? - would we want to set up some place on the wiki where ppl could request accounts and then wiki-managers would verify their request against the users on the discussion lists and then create their corresponding wiki account? I agree that the 'has a viable account on one of the discussion groups' is a pretty good minimum req'ment for getting contrib rights on the wiki.
