[Xen-devel] (Temporary) Changes to Wiki editing rights

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

sorry for the wide coverage. As you may know, the Xen wiki has been 
subject of a severe wiki spam attack in the last 2 weeks. As a 
consequence we have had to create an editors group for the wiki. We 
still want ALL community members to be able to edit the wiki and are 
looking for a longer term solution (approaches such as a non-standard 
log-in procedure via single sign on and a few others have been 
suggested). But this will take a few weeks to implement (in particular 
with all the other web changes that are still being worked on).
What we had to do temporarily is create an editors group: to be added, 
please fill out 
http://xenproject.org/component/content/article/100-misc/145-request-to-be-made-a-wiki-editor 
and we will add you as quickly as possible. I also updated the following 
pages, to provide this information
- http://xenproject.org/help/wiki.html
- http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Main_Page
- http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Help:Contents

I am also looking for volunteers who can help make others editors. 
Please let me know if you want to volunteer. What would be involved is:
a) We would make you a wiki administrator
b) You would get notified when somebody fills out the form
c) You would change user permissions and make people editors (as these 
are requested - in some cases, we may need to check that somebody is a 
real person)
I think we are covered in the EU and on the East coast, but if a 
volunteer in Australia, Asia and the West Coast of the US could step up 
we could guarantee a quick turn-around. If you are interested drop me a 
mail.
Regards
Lars
