I think this is being blown way out of proportion.

We're not wikipedia. We have nowhere near the attention level, nor the
type of content that's likely to attract vandals. And before someone
brings up the doc comments, there hasn't appeared to be much of a flood
of garbage there since we instituted the login requirement.

It's also completely unfair to try and correlate keeping an open wiki
clean with doing the same for docs, because unlike docs we've got
hundreds of folks who could ensure that the wiki stays clean.

Can we please just give the public wiki a chance instead of coming up
with a bunch of reasons it won't work before we've even tried? It's not
like it's hard to change things later if needed.

(BTW, when I say public wiki I mean one where anyone with an account can
edit, not one where you don't need an account.)
