Thanks for summing up. Let me correct one bit.

I don't think the ability not to be able to subscribe to changes is a big issue.

My issue is mainly with lowering the bar for contributions to the wiki.

If the policy is to make the wiki editable by anyone then the current process is way too cumbersome. But from what I understand there is disagreement or lack of clarity on what the policy is. IIRC Albert thinks we should have a quite high threshold to contribute to the wiki (by having to go through someone). I don't see the benefit of that policy. I see practical issues such as spam but I think there are probably easier solutions to such issues.

Anyway. The policy should be stated on the wiki itself in an easily accessible manner. When I sent my original email the info was just not there to be found.

So thanks for fixing that :-)
