Re: [OctDev] Wiki editing denied

[Etienne G. <et...@cs...>]

  Hi Felipe,

I agree this way of protecting the wiki is rather clunky. As it is, I
have little time to maintain the wiki, but you are free to set up
another one with whatever protection you feel is appropriate. If John
finds the new wiki acceptable, he can then have wiki.octave.org point
to it, at which point I would discontinue the wiki I'm presently
maintaining.

  Cheers,

  Etienne

PS : Do you now manage to edit the wiki right now?

PPS: Wikipedia's def of "wiki" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki does
     not exclude requiring registration to edit a wiki.
