AMahdy, Nothing is personal, I'm just telling how it goes. May be I don't contribute the best thing, but indeed I'll be happy to hand over to anyone who contributes something better. I believe this is the spirit that should be in such a group.
On the other hand, mediawiki is currently installed on http://wiki.openegypt.net with the username and pass openegypt / openegypt123 . The registration is opened of course. I guess someone should work on getting this wiki customized a little bit. If it's not needed then someone tell me to bring it down.
