Hi Lars,

I think the main issues (mess) with the old wiki were:
- not being able to contact someone if information is incorrect / outdated
- noone looking into pages that had become outdated
- not looking for pages that might be outdated
- most of the pages being immutable so you couldn't even fix stuff.

So if we limit edit rights to certain user groups that is not a
problem, as long as the groups are big enough to maintain the
categories.
Also it might be helpful to use a release mechanism - if any
registered user can create pages, but they stay invisible until
approval then this would save a lot of time for the regular authors
and still keep up quality. (Thats working really well in my
experience)

Greetings
Florian
