Welcome aboard. =)

No.

There are 'PageInfo' and 'PageHistory' links on every wiki page.
Besides, another two useful links:

http://vcd.cosoft.org.cn/pwiki/index.php/RecentChanges
http://vcd.cosoft.org.cn/pwiki/index.php/RecentEdits

As for 'who', you can 'sign in' before you start to edit.

Well, wiki is a thing meant to be open. And i make our wiki as open as
possible. Anonymous edit allowed everywhere. 

CVS remains as the authortive committing method. 'Static' html versions
also remain as the authortive translating results and can be synced
automatically from cvs as usual:

http://vcd.cosoft.org.cn/doc/help.html
http://vcd.cosoft.org.cn/doc/usr_toc.html

Wiki is for casual/anonymous contribution, to attract more ppl to get
interested and hopefully join in. So that it's supposed to get updated
more often than cvs.

With all that said, i dont think it neccessary to sync b/w cvs and wiki.
We can incorporate changes from wiki, after reviewing and polishing
them, to our cvs repository [every week/month, or when we are about to
make a release (beta?) ].

FYI, our wiki has since been working pretty fine. Some guy has
translated 'if_perl.txt' and another guy has started to work
on 'visual.txt'. Not 'small changes', huh? So we can invite them to join
in as core translators (with cvs committing permisson).
