   Well, I think that will depend on how we set it up. My point about the   
   tribal elders partly addresses this; most wiki engines provide a   
   revision control mechanism, so if we the elders don't like a particular   
   update, we can roll it back.   
      
   I think if we can set up a framework that forces people to log in and   
   supply a verifiable email address before they go editing stuff, we   
   should be able to eliminate any vandalism and/or Deck-a-Rep tomfoolery.   
      
   FWIW, I'm not suggesting this as some great democratic exercise in   
   information in the way that that Wikipedia is, rather I see it more as a   
   way of reducing the workload on any one individual in keeping the FAQ   
   alive, and presenting the information in a useful format.
