It's a great idea, but wiki's are prone to problems with people who just
want to screw up other's lives. I think it unfortunate that you would
have to require registration to an open-source project (I'm speaking
about linux audio that is, not your website.) But, I think you'd have to
resort to this.
But, since you are asking for volunteers, it seems a natural that you
could control the few who would edit. Thus, you would be using the
editing-ease of using a wiki, and controlling spam to some extent by
allowing only a few registered users.

I don't need convincing. I'm not against a
wiki at all. I was, in
fact, quite impressed at the idea. However, what does it mean to be
managed? If that means Dave has to look at everything that his new
helpers do then it likely isn't going to save him much time.
Edits by anonymous users needs to be acked by someone, registered users
edits go up immediatly IIUC. I think this is roughly how wikipedia works.
