Just a thought. > Normal shell users can execute all but one of the steps required for wiki creation: root access is needed to create the DNS entry for the new subdomain. Previously we just had RobH handle all wiki creations, but he's been working almost exclusively on setting up the Virginia datacenter for a while now AFAIK. I previously suggested on IRC that we could have regular shell users like Ashar do the wiki creations at a scheduled time and assign a root to do the DNS stuff for them.
