I don't think restricting editing to registered users is a significant turn off if registration is simple.
It really really is a turn off. Sometimes when I spot a mistake, and I'm at a computer where I haven't logged in to hawiki, I don't bother fixing it. No one wants to have yet another account, to fill in their personal details yet again. I appreciate spam is a problem, but turning off unregistered users is a trade off - less content, less spam, less open to people joining - its not a free solution. Thanks Neil
