Hi Waldemar, Thank you for your reply. I must admit that I might have underestimated the time required to manage a wiki. I would much like to contribute to the WRT community, but first I must do some thinking as to how and when I can do this in a useful (longer than a one-time contribution) way. For the time being I'll be doing some research on how to minimize wiki-spam and the maintanance time it consumes. Perhaps there are some people on this mailinglist that have ideas about how to handle the issue?
