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?

Greetings,

Johnny
