It happened in 2cool, and in my class, too.  Je77, what do you think 
about making this a global change?

But here's an answering interesting tidbit:  Students kept playing 
with the rename feature in the Sandbox, changing the name to various 
things.  I (anonymously) put a note in the Sandbox "Please stop 
renaming this page. It's community property."  Someone else wrote 
back "...um... shouldn't the Swiki support some kind of security 
features to prevent that kind of thing?" I responded "Maybe. Not 
clear how it should work. We want people to have that much freedom, 
but we also want people to be responsible. Democracies
can really be a pain sometime...:-)" Another student then took up my 
side with: "Applicable bumper sticker I once saw:'There is no freedom 
without responsibility.'"  Nice when the students start taking up the 
cause...:-)
