I know - testing tips and judging which to use is most work, correct.

I haven't seen a single spam commit on my wiki yet. And if it happens
git commits are trivially to revert or drop. My idea is to be
"uncommon" and simple. adding ?vim_edit=1 to a page is very simple - but
no bot will know about it.

If you start using my wiki (or wikia) you can start right a way without
writing additional code.

Which organization? I and Zyx (and Shougo) are part of
bitbucket.org/vimcommunity (which also want sto be open to any such
projects). Drop me a line if you want me to add you as admin.

I think this all should be on the main vim wiki, we should try to
collaborate as much as possible - and I think it should be
usable/greppable on disk.

There are many tips already, people just have to read them.

I'd say: Start spending your time on the tips, then send them to the
mailinglist, do this twice, then think about how to move on depending on
the feedback. You can still write plugins etc.

To get started I'd even say people can put there tips here (I've put
almost everything I find useful on my wiki ..)

If you want to write plugins I'm not going to stop you - just wondering
whether its most important to get started.
