Sadly, I don't have the time either. Can we freeze the wiki and temporarily replace it with a message that says it'll return when someone volunteers to maintain it and keep it free of SPAM? Maybe having it inaccessible will get someone's attention. Meanwhile, all my NEW stuff is on SourceForge, partly because it's connected with the OpenShader subproject, partly because there's no maintainer for OGP's wiki.
