You have to have a confirmed e-mail account to be able to edit anything, the errors on why you can't edit are fairly straight forward.

I'd leave that up to the greater community. The second one there would fit better on the page honestly, but I don't want to go making a logo decision for the entirety of the project.

I've got enough troubles with the fact that that one change would affect 22 wikis in a single go.
As bad as it is to say this, I'd rather wait for 1.16 to come out vs. modify it in place. Mediawiki is claiming they are in continuous integration development with quarterly releases but their last release was June of 2009, so take that as you will.
