I think that's preventable, especially if we require logins to edit the
wiki: while people are free to add content, others can clean up new
content and remove dubious additions. Besides, I think the TODO list is
speculative by nature: there are plenty of vague or half-baked ideas on
the current TODO list, for example.

For those who haven't seen it, I think the GCC Wiki is a good model:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki

Personally I'd like to see us move toward maintaining the TODO list and
similar developer-oriented information primarily on a wiki.
