Do we need to clarify or create any policies and guidelines, now we have forums and blog? Or leave things as they are? Policies, guidelines (and formating) where possible are site-wide, right? I.e. the same for wiki & Drupal sections of the site. Obviously there's more opinion allowed in forum posts, but that kind of difference of content is already covered by existing policy, I think.

Normally when people sign up for a wiki, there is no requirement to read or explicitly agree to anything. Since anons can post, it's not really relevant to registration anyway. I'm inclined to just have some brief notices above edit boxes, reminding contributors of the key principles: be civil, no politicking...
