I think it unfortunate that you would have to require registration to an open-source project (I'm speaking about linux audio that is, not your website.) But, I think you'd have to resort to this. But, since you are asking for volunteers, it seems a natural that you could control the few who would edit. Thus, you would be using the editing-ease of using a wiki, and controlling spam to some extent by allowing only a few registered users. See: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiSpam
