I think the registration is a step backwards, captcha for unregistered 
users will do it a lot easier for users and mantainers. I had read that 
occacional users changes are minimal, but those changes are those that 
people registered never see, becouse they already went over the same 
thing so many times that already skip the lecture, let say the tutorial 
about how to find a file in the FS, who reads it? maybe a newbie found 
it doesnt really work, invest some time in find why googling, and want 
to add his own experience, we loosing that, the experienced user dont 
see those little details that are key for a well documented OS, the 
users-comments area can add those experiences for us without give the 
unregistered users writting access, but like i said before, we got no 
other way of feedback than the edition.
About Textcha, i guess i will never be able to add things to handbook 
after implemented (my english sucks as you probably already noticed) lot 
of people doesnt speak english as main language and will get pissed off 
after 2-3 failed textcha tries.
Maybe we should consider a wiki migration, if the one we using doesnt 
have a lot of basic features that almost every other has.
Im not a big experienced wiki user, but heard a lot of good comments 
about mediawiki.
