I'm hearing reports of people having difficulty obtaining accounts on
the Haskell wiki, without which it is impossible to make edits.
Currently, account creation is disabled as an anti-spam measure, and the
idea is for people to mail the admin and request an account. If this is
to work, accounts need to be granted reasonably quickly - so far, I'm
aware of a case where after 4 days there has been no response.

This is particularly problematic for Anglohaskell, as signups and the
like are via the wiki page - as a temporary workaround, I'll (and anyone
else willing to lend a hand who already has an account) have to make
edits on others' behalf, which is a serious inconvenience for both
myself and attendees, as well as something of a barrier to entry.

What's going on, and how can we speed things up?
