I've wondered about that effect on ovirt.org, which is a clever hacked
skin on top of MediaWiki. It hides the [edit] button for those not
logged in (and moves the login controls to lower prominence in the
footer), so most people aren't aware it's a MediaWiki. Perhaps they
don't think they can contribute? (Of course, I think that MW is still
running the system of 'need to ask to get an account', thereby making
drive-by difficult.)
