On Thu, Apr 12, 2007 at 04:50:40PM -0400, we recorded a bogon-

Due to recent problems with the Wiki, I have made several changes
that will
affect everyone that uses this resource. No user will be able to
create/edit without having their email address validated and their
permissions changed to allow this. Unfortunately, there are over 100
accounts in the database and I have no way of knowing which are ?
valid?
users. Users with validated email accounts can create ?talk? but
they
cannot add or edit current pages. If you are inclined to
contribute to the
wiki (add pages), you will need to contact one of the wiki sysops
to have
your permissions changed to permit this.
This afternoon I went through the user list and added wiki-editing
privileges
to every user who has already made contributions to the wiki. That
is a very
tiny fraction of the registered users.
Ta!
Much of this goes against my
belief of having an open living document, but alas, this is the
world we
live in.
I, too, am very sad to see the wiki have to be clamped down like
this, but
at least with the three of us as sysops we should be able to get
people
set up as wiki editors pretty quickly.
C'est la vie unfortunately.
Those who are interested could look at the RecentChanges log to see
how
much vandalism we were subjected to. It went on all day, sometimes
re-vandalizing pages minutes after I had fixed them. Some people
need to
get a life.
Robot based maybe?
I must check the 'LiveCD' page contents again, just in case the newer
updates of unbuntu 6.10 have changed anything.
Thanks for the hard work guys.
