If we move to an open Wiki, be prepared to be very busy.  I've seen spambots get past most, if not all, of the verification systems and bomb away.  I've read where several systems had to shut them down for fear of being sued.  At the present time, we have verification for exactly that reason.  To keep the spam out and to pre-edit those entries that do not provide all of the information needed.

I would love to see a Wiki, with pre-editing of the entries.  This is possible, but would not address the problem you raised.
