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.
