Yes, editing the content of a page is limited to people with TNF
commit privileges. (There were hacks that were going to let everyone
sort of edit, but they turned out to be too hacky for life, at least
in this incarnation. The wiki meta-documentation needs to catch up to
reality.)

Instead, anyone can append comments to any page. You just need an
OpenID, and it doesn't need to be whitelisted or registered. If a
given comment looks spammy a moderator will have to approve, of
course; otherwise, commenting should just work (modulo a bug I just
found where it doesn't actually commit comments to CVS, but they
aren't lost).

Folks with TNF commit privileges: help our users get involved!
