I like everything about it but "you could". We should automatically add 
something like that and only after some people (board, core-team, 
policy-team, whatever you'd like to call it) approved it, it should be 
changed. has the wiki system something like such an approval system?

Good idea. Maybe we can create such a wiki-supervising group. For 
example if I write a wiki entry, I could mark it as "draft" then pass it 
to that group. After they decided whether it is good or not, the remove 
the tag and push it back to me to redo it?
