in theory i agree, but practice looks different...

the problem is, that zwiki-pages do not respect the usual 
plone-workflow. therefore we cannot give the right to add zwiki pages to 
all authenticated members (just because it is not possible).
one possibility would be to make all members be "owner" of the /dev and 
/docs folders, but this would mean that they can just do everything, 
including the deletion of non-wiki pages and the like.
this would not be a real problem, if spammers hadn't startet to spam 
plone sites with authenticated users just recently (even with all the 
steps required - like email confirmation...very inefficient spamming 
this is)

however, it is perfectly possible to add wiki-pages right now: just 
don't use the "add wiki page" button but do it implicitely by editing an 
existing wiki page and refer to a page to be created.
