I don't think I agree. The "community" is much better at keeping vital contents up-to-date then the "core developers" are. Look at what we have now: The "developer maintained official pages" that are mostly correct when talking about last millenium's achievements, and a wiki page with a decent level of on-going activity...
The idea is to have CMS-style wiki pages with general info, downloads etc. that can easily be modified by developers. Other pages can be edited by everyone. Both types can use the same design and wiki technology.
I think this is better than allowing everyone to edit the entire site, because otherwise even the most important pages are subject to spam and vadalism. Only for a limited number of pages editing needs to be restricted. Currently, protection is already in place for important pages on wiki.lyx.org.
Note that many wiki pages are currently maintained by developers. The only reason why they are on the wiki is because adding new pages and content to www.lyx.org is much more difficult.
