No. As soon as you need it, some idiot locked the page with 
some strange dumb content, and the guy who could reset
the locked page is on holiday.

30 hours to get that page resetet...

Then have a Wiki "behind" the front page. Second line.

For a news feed with RSS it is important to have moderation, because
