Well, that's a problem - Google doesn't really care where
on the postgresql.org we stick something, or whether
it is a wiki or a techdocs or a simple HTML page.

It's simple really - I don't think we should allow unmoderated,
anonymous content on the postgresql.org site. Requiring an email
address slightly raises the bar, but offers little overall
protection. The bar right now is a loose web of trust - "Does
somebody know who this person is? Okay, let them edit the wiki"
The ad-hoc mechanism for implementing this could be improved,
of course, but this was an experiment. A successful one, as it
turns out: it has shown that having a wiki is an excellent way
of allowing community collaboration.
