Having run half a dozen wikis and contributed to lord only knows how
many, registration is neither a bad thing nor optional. The utopia
imagined by the original wiki proponents does not exist on the
internet today. It's just another type of CMC, like a mailing list
or a forum, and it's important to know who's contributed what and to
be able to shut out miscreants.
There's no need to require registration for reading, just editing.
