  Sorry to repeat the mail; the subject should have "call for
volunteers" in it.

  Hi All,

this mail is to ask for volunteers who would take the responsibility
to : 

- Repair daily any defacement that occurs on the wiki
- Update the bannedhost page of the wiki.

Please answer to this list if you're interested. If volunteers show
up, I'll open up the wiki.

  Cheers,

  Etienne

PS I am *not* a volunteer.
