Hi admins,

The official download page for the Windows version of LyX seems to be http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows, which is a wiki. So it's possible for anyone to change the links on that page to point to their own evil exe files, which unsuspecting users will download and run. That's not good.

Hi Nate,

We eventually got around to discussing this and ended up protecting edits of that page with a password. In addition, people like Uwe keep an extra eye on that page.

It's at least an improvement, as we wish to retain the 'wikiness'.

If you see any other pages you think should be protected similarly, please let us know.

Thanks and regards,
/Christian
