Oussama was not part of this discussion personally and I just said, that this
type of wiki page looks like spam to me - and it still looks like that. I do
not accuse anybody to be a spammer. The person behind this page is completely
unknown to me (and may also be a fake, be aware of that). I have never heard
anything from him/her on the Lucene mailing lists.
The misunderstanding here was that I was not aware about Steven Rowe granting
access to him, because I was scanning mails in new -> old order - and, I just
repeat, because of the page contents the alarm bells started ringing.
I will not apologize to anybody, as it was not personal to any person, it was
just alarm bells ringing on page contents from unknown persons never
contributed anything before. I wanted to point out that there *may* be
something wrong with the MoinMoin config so spammers can still edit pages.
PERIOD, no more comments!
"Issue Closed",
Uwe
