Perhaps you did not bother to read the next page after the prompt which explains that you must provide reason for the change unless you have administrator access? This is a recent change intended to reduce the incidence of spam edits. I agree that it might be a little confusing to be first confronted by a a log in box before being given the explanation but this is a result of the rather quick hack I made to implement the edit check. To make your changes to the SandBoxActiveAxiomDevelopers just make sure that you enter some simple explanatory text in the reason box before you click Save. Let me know if you still have problems. I think it might be a lot better if I used a javascript edit check instead of depending on the awkward server interaction. I will try that when I next get a chance. > > I do have a account with the "portal" though -- I don't > know how they realte.

It is still my intention to keep the Axiom Wiki site as open access as possible, but it is getting harder and harder to keep it clean. We have a few select pages (such the FrontPage) that are protected from one acess since this page is a favourite one of the spammers but it's consistent content is very important to us. In order to modify these pages you must have Zope Management user id. Only three people have that kind of access to the Axiom web site right now. If you want to be one of them I am sure we would all be glad to share the responsibility with you. :) The Axiom portal site is a different story. It runs Plone and is intended from the start to be a more controlled access environment where people can create the own work privately and then share it with others as and when they wish in a controlled manner. It does also provide users with their own private wiki pages that can run Axiom and Reduce programs in the same way as the public Axiom Wiki. And there are a few other portal-based services such as the bibliograhies, news, events and calendar. I used to think this was pretty neat and some people have said that they like the "feel" of the web page layout better than the less structured (and less complex) wiki environment, but unfortunately it does not really seem to gotten much use yet. Before getting access to the Axiom portal, users must register but this is an easy process that basically just confirms the validity of the users email address. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
