Who owns the domain?

TrikeApps

Who created the Wiki?

TrikeApps

Who owns the code?

As in who holds the copyright to the wiki software? Around a hundred different developers. I would guess few if any of them have ever heard of LessWrong.

Who pays for the servers?

I'm not sure about this one, probably either TrikeApps itself or Matt, the founder of TrikeApps. My next guess would be SIAI.

If someone is in charge, what rights do they reserve for themselves?

More or less all of them.

At what point does the ratio of community contributions to Eliezer's contributions mean we have the right to claim some ownership?

I'm not aware of any case where rights can be transferred by that means without prior agreement.

All in all, the only way you're likely to get the sort of rights you're asking about is to create your own web site, where you can then establish whatever policies you think are fair.

Might want to get together with thomblake on that one, he seems to have the right idea.

a minor clarification:

Who owns the domain?

TrikeApps

We registered it, but some not quite specified coalition of Eliezer and SIAI has the moral right to the domain. I've added a task to our queue to update the whois db to point to SIAI.
