    Here is a message I sent to sourceforge.net and its reply:

    "#21405: How does a project admin set up a wiki page that can only be added to
    or
    edited by registered users?

    Hello,

    The MediaWiki and Trac Hosted Apps by default do not allow anonymous
    edits. MediaWiki will require that the admin add the appropriate
    permissions to each user that wants to edit. For Trac, it's possible to
    just configure the wiki to just accept edits from any authenticated (ie.,
    logged in) user.

    Another option is for him to just install a wiki of choice to his
    space, and then he can configure it however he wants.
    One downside of that though, is that it will require its own user
    database, it will not be able to utilize the SourceForge user database.

    If he has further questions, he should contact us directly.

    Regards,
    Chris Tsai, !SourceForge.net Support"

    afletdinov, would you consider setting up a Trac wiki and configure it to
    allow edits by registered/logged in users only?

    Best regards,
    Steven.

    +1 for using Trac.

    And IIRC, once it's activated, that's default mode - sf.net registered users
    can edit pages.

    This is because when they enable the wiki, this option didn't exist.

    I think that you can use the Roadmap, I like Roadmaps for programs to see how
    much need to be implemented and how much you have been worked :D.
