The same could be said for either Jeff or yourself. It wouldn't hurt to have additional mirrors/backups of the data. However, I view the Wiki administrator as one of the core members of UML. He has been supporting this project for at least 2 years. In fact, he has been providing assistance for this project at least as long as you have. Rather than question anyone's commitment to the project with potential "what ifs", we should focus on resolving actual issues. Initially, we should identify a means for stopping the spam. Once this is resolved, someone could focus on resolving the global issues faced by the UML websites. To my knowledge, there are four main sites associated with "core" information: http://uml.harlowhill.com/ http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ http://usermodelinux.org/ http://www.user-mode-linux.org/%7Eblaisorblade/ A better approach would be to unify these under a single domain as a common repository for information. However, this takes volunteer time and effort. Perhaps you should consider soliciting the community for a "web master"? This would allow the work to proceed while leaving you and Jeff free to pursue the actual technology?

I agree that it should have a more central role. However, I disagree with the assumption that anyone besides you and Jeff are of questionable persistence. Many people have coughed up resources, time and support for the project over the past several years. While a more organized approach is in order, it doesn't mean that you can't trust anyone besides Jeff.
