It should be clearly understood by all contributors *and* readers .

This kind of platform can be useful if and only if we are all commited
to contribute.

Concerning the contents themselves, they can be placed under a
creative Common license that all should agreed.

Agreed .

Those who are interested could stand themselves.

Here I think they should be a timeline with an end term on the
availability of this wiki. Maybe 2 years ? It can be renewed but it's
important to know after a period if it's still accurate and well
maintained.
This availabilty should apply to the admin/moderators too.

Yes, the best process is to write these policies on the wiki itself.
They should not be too long. They can be discussed in this list but we
should not spend too much time on that purpose.

That's why I was talking above of an end term of the team of
administrators and even for the wiki platform itself.

It's not IPv6 related but I think a wiki like this could be useful for
all technical stuff.

What's is «AuP» please ?
