Filippo -- I encourage you do to this on our behalf. But, please  
don't suggest a process that squashes the creativity of the wiki  
community under a pile of righteous "oughts". Wiki has flourished at  
the hands of users who could figure out how to exploit capabilities  
that they never dreamed they could have. We recognize them by the  
quality of the pages they write. Best regards. -- Ward
