Touche.

I still don't like wikis for this purpose very much -- a person
editing effectively grabs a lock on the whole file. (Wikimedia
addresses this to some extend by allowing sections to be edited, but I
don't see this feature in moinmoin yet, and I don't see us switching.)
Also there is no access control -- anyone who can create a login can
edit.
