I agree with you; this would be much easier to allow people directly edit the wiki, but as i told you the wiki was like this before and was hacked, which really was annoying to the person in charge of it (Damien Sandras) as he has *lots* of other things to do (coding, administrating ekiga.net, etc.). Since then, editing the wiki has been restricted to a circle of few trusted people using passwords. See below... IMHO, having it hosted elsewhere, isn't really a solution as the problem is *who* will be in charge of it. Who will dedicated his time to this task assuming the person is a wiki master who can deal with "sabotage"/hacks ? I'm not that kind of people... In the other hand, the Ekiga team see now the wiki system as a very good way to document Ekiga. It seems, we will use it more and more... > > Another approach would be to allow editing from a very controlled group > of people - there is a way to have mediawiki email passwords just to > those you want (i.e., we could make people request accounts via email > and only after they are well known) and you can set up the wiki so that > it only operates over SSL for password protection. Just a thought.... > ...this is mostly the way it works. Damien Sandras, as he is the wiki administrator, granted me access to the wiki giving me a password and i started working on it. If you want to directly edit the wiki, ask Damien. I can't give you access to it. Perhaps, we should open a new page in the wiki providing infos how to grant access to edit the wiki for people willing to help on it...
