I doubt it.  There are a lot of anonymous edits, but that's because most 
members haven't logged in (or even created accounts).  I forget 
sometimes too.  I don't know why anyone who isn't interested in HCoop 
enough to take 90 seconds to create an account would be interested 
enough in the wiki to edit it anyway.

For the time being, protecting the front page only (and also NewMembers 
!! This is even more important than the front page)  in this way would 
be fine, but we should keep an eye on the wiki to make sure there isn't 
spam or malicious editing going on.
