Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Immutable Page
Not to barge in here, but I am subscribed to the ubuntu doc's team mailing list and they had been getting hit hard with spam so they locked the wiki down both community side as well as main wiki.If I am not mistaken only particular individuals have permissions to make edits to the wiki's Jonathan Aquilina On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 10:14 PM, Ralf Mardorfwrote: > On Thu, 21 Apr 2016 20:57:35 +0100, floccul...@gmx.co.uk wrote: > >Not sure that joining a LP group is really that much of a hardship tbh. > ( > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2016-April/007640.html > ) > > Did you notice that e.g. > > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases was last edited 2016-02-05? > > While Wikipdia about Ubuntu was edited today? > > Likely people aren't aware what's going on ;), so yes, it's hard, if > you don't know what to do. > > In my case, I dislike to subscribe to another instance to contribute. > There are not that many experienced Linux pro-audio users spending time > to edit help pages related to this domain.

(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2016-April/007640.html) Did you notice that e.g. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases was last edited 2016-02-05? While Wikipdia about Ubuntu was edited today? Likely people aren't aware what's going on ;), so yes, it's hard, if you don't know what to do. In my case, I dislike to subscribe to another instance to contribute. There are not that many experienced Linux pro-audio users spending time to edit help pages related to this domain. Any additional time-consuming steps are bad. In addition I mistrust that the reason for this approach is spam.

Regards, Ralf It was put in place when the wiki was under pressure from spammers as an extra measure to dissuade them iirc. Please bear in mind this was nothing to do with me - just passing on what I remember from the incident Not sure that joining a LP group is really that much of a hardship tbh. thanks -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
