It's one of the good/bad things about Wiki's... I don't know about 
Kwiki, but I know that some allow you to disallow changes by people "not 
a member of a group" (like on TWiki, I can say "Only people who are 
members of (say) RTUsers can edit this page")--granted, it's a bit more 
work on your end, but less work than, say, having to clean up all those 
wiki pages when spammers decide to play.

Best,
Glenn
