Yes. Clytie is right about wikispam and one can easily subscribe to
the pages they wish to monitor.

I too like the idea of keping profiles as wiki pages rather than
static ones. Why ? .... One, each person has full control, can create
and edit it themselves instead of waiting for someone else to upload
it. Two, it gives an equal chance to new or shy folks who may normally
hold out and wonder how much they have to contribute to get a profile
listed.

hmm... do you mean the FAQ page. I kept static pages to the bare
minimum (now 4) of which the Mentoring page is still awaiting feedback
from list members (*poke* :-))
