I agree with the "entire community" thing, except for the Wiki-style "the 
whole world can edit" idea.  I don't see how that leads to anything except 
constant cleaning up after spam.  Surely it would be sufficient to just 
create an account for anyone who asks, on the theory that if we've met 
them or even just exchanged personal email it's unlikely to be a problem.

Also, it seems reasonable to pick a Wiki that has version (I don't think 
all do) so that if worst comes to worst we can revert to an earlier 
version with a minimum of fuss.
