I'm sensing that you feel overwhelmed...  :)

The above list (minus points 1 and 2) are generally done by a small
community, not a single admin.  In other words, the same people who are
spending so much time on this list.

If you active the PyLucene wiki, and just ensure that edits require being
logged in (that way abusive/spammy edits can be traced to an account and
disabled), we can take it from there.  Worst case isn't worse than no wiki
at all.

It helps if your wiki app uses a captcha during registrations to thwart
automated spammers.  Between that and requiring users to be logged in during
edits, we stand a great chance.
