Chris, are you the "wikimaster"? I can't seem to use the wiki to find out who is! Going to the home page of the wiki or to the http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team page does NOT help. Some years back I used Wikispaces for several wikis. As its wiki system model evolved, the administrator of a wiki gained the power to lock out changes on a page-by-page basis (and maybe even to delegate such powers to chosen sub-administrators?) Is that possible within the MediaWiki system we use here at Sugar Labs? The reason I ask is that just the other day, Sean Daly, leader of the Marketing Team, lamented as follows (cf. http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2013-02-01#i_2768391 ) "last time i tried to make a wiki page more readable for teachers, a community member wiped out all my edits, after 3 days i gave up was very disheartening" Of course, allowing individuals or subgroups within SL to edit certain pages exclusively implies that an arbitrator (like the wikimaster) is needed in case of conflict with others. For the present, Sean could simply establish a free account at an outside wiki provider like Wikispaces, have full control of his content there, and link to it from Sugar Labs wiki pages. Changing subjects: As for my previous remarks above, the subtext of my "Lesson 2:" was that I was too lazy to carry out the suggestion I was making. Sorry.
