As Xavier said, the link for the wiki from the PDL homepage is the 
correct one. Yes, we abandoned the jach oddmuse wiki due to lack of 
access control.  The SF mediawiki allows us to centralize all access 
control.  If you are logged in to your sourceforge account and click on 
the "Lambd" link in the first paragraph, it should bring up a form to 
send me an email.  That way I know what your SF username is, as well, in 
case it's not an obvious combination of your first & last names.  That 
was the most straightforward non-spammy way I could do it.  I figured 
the identity of the admins would be obvious to anyone who had been 
hanging around the mailing list for awhile, but perhaps that was an 
incorrect assumption, and you're right--it doesn't help out newcomers 
much (and maybe not everyone archives all the pdl list traffic!). 

The content of the SF wiki should be the same as the content of the old, 
out-of-use jach wiki.  If something substantial is missing, please let 
me know.

cheers,
Derek
