Open Source Wiki

Some things I'm pondering before I start the project...
- What legal issues might arise out of this?
- How might I address the security weakness of public wikis? I'd imagine that people wouldn't be willing to run programs that had malicious code some scum added on.
- Has anyone tried this with GPL code yet? If so, how did it fare?
UPDATE: Apparently, contributions to Wikisource are under the GNU FDL, not the public domain. Unfortunately, the GNU FDL is incompatible with the GNU GPL used by Linux. I'd want the whole site to use the same licensing scheme, so project code snippets could be quoted in discussion and then moved back, etc. So now, I have even MORE questions!
Can I license non-code discussion pages under the GPL? Can I just slap a dual license on the discussion pages?
I like the idea, but this red tape is giving me a headache.

P.P.S. Why doesn't your phone work
Sounds cool! I won't be able to hang out much after tomorrow, but I'll swing by. Sorry my phone hasn't been working - the battery isn't charging.
