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 David Mertens wrote: > For the record, I read the comments on the Site Map on the > jach.hawaii.edu <http://jach.hawaii.edu> wiki.
