Hi Dan,

A couple weeks back I posted this:

The editing collision aspect is important, because when I
posted the link yesterday, several people viewed the page
anonymously within a few minutes (as owner with the page on
my screen, I could see this). If they had all been 
editing the Wiki Trac page, over-write collisions would be likely.

I established a gmail account to work on a doc with 
Matt Mathis, and I haven't received any spam in that account
as a result of having access to a shared doc or now 
creating a doc. In fact, the only mail I receive is when 
Matt Responds to or Resolves a comment. If you don't use the 
Comment feature, I don't think you'll get any mail at all
related to this page.

Hope this helps, I will share editing with you now.
