On their FAQ page i've read they request "a large potential audience"
(the cynic in me says "they're ad driven"). I've looked at
code.google.com because it didn't require an authorization to create a
new project, but i can reconsider.

I'm only moving the wiki contents.

I've tried to port a couple of pages on the code.google wiki and for
sure the result is ugly considering the current wiki.

About users contributions, i'm not so sure there will be a lot,
looking at the current wiki stats, but i could be wrong. I'm concerned
about spam bot and vandals, as in another low profile web forum i see
nearly 20~30 new registrations daily that are spammers, and this even
using a captcha. But if there's a big request for anonymous edits i
can reconsider wikia.
