Can I have edit access to this Wiki? My login id is DoraRajappan. I created it today. I am not sure the id expires after sometime. The id that I created before is not accessible and I had to create new id. Thanks & Regards, Dora Rajappan.

Putting the correct login id, and only the login id, on the line works fine :-) On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 12:29 PM, Mike Kienenberger <mkien...@gmail.com> wrote: > Something is still not set up right for wiki editing. > > While anyone in the AdminGroup can edit pages, someone in the > ContributorsGroup still cannot. > > I suspect we might need the $projectwiki.py updated as per [1] in > order to allow ContributorsGroup to edit pages by default. > > [1] > http://wiki.apache.org/general/OurWikiFarm#Enabling_per_wiki_override_of_ACLs > > I am attempting to subscribe to infrastructure@ to ask about this. > > In the short term, add people to AdminGroup if they need to edit the wiki. > > Also, there's very little indication of what has to be done in order > to get permissions to edit the wiki. > I think I'll add a line on the folowing FrontPage "Community and > Context / With a little help of our friends" section stating: > > * To Edit This wiki -- request wiki contributor status from the > MyFaces Development <dev@myfaces.apache.org> mailing list. > > It'd be great to make this more obvious, but I'm not certain how. > > > On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Mike Kienenberger <mkien...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> Thanks, Matt. >> >> I've added your as an administrator. >> >> On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Matt Benson <gudnabr...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Mike, as far as I know I have been the other guy deleting spam pages.
