Agree that other authors should be able to contribute, particularly if the page is unmaintained. That raises another point of Wiki etiquette that might be addressed in the Guidelines - what is the proper procedure for editing somebody else's page?

Just thought it might be good to have a statement that it is allowed (or encouraged), but not required.
