    The Derby wiki was locked down in order to stop an automated spam
    attack. I believe the lockdown was done under this JIRA:
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6125. If I understand
    correctly, there are now two groups with write access to the Derby
    wiki:

    o An Admin group which consists of the active Derby committers at
    the time INFRA-6125 was created. I think that we need to add Dyre
    to this group now.

    o A Contributor group. Right now the only member of this group is
    Ingemar. But a couple other users are now requesting contributor
    rights.

    I can't figure out how to add other names to these groups. Since
    I'm in the Admin group, I assume I have this ability. I just don't
    know how to exercise it. Does anyone know how this is done? If I
    don't hear back in a day, I will post this question to the
    infrastructure list.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for responding to those users...
I see Knut Anders already took care of this.
The trick I used is to go to the wiki site index 
https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TitleIndex, and find the appropriate 
group page (Contributorgroup, in this case). People that are on the 
Admingroup can modify those pages.

I had added a line about sending email to derbydev to get access to 
update the wiki to the 'Welcome to Derby' wiki page 
(https://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/FrontPage, first bullet under 'How 
to use this site'). But perhaps that wasn't enough?

What is Dyre's wiki page user name?

Thanks for those instructions, Myrna. I have added Dyre to the Admin 
group and Patrick and John to the Contributors group.

Thanks,
-Rick
