Hi all,

just a curious little query: why is the DSL wiki is not accepting new members?

It's not that it's particularly informative at present, but I am certain it could be resurrected and extended if the powers that are in charge could let us mere DSL-users in, and help to enrich it.

To quote Jonathan Dimbleby:

'Any Answers?'

I back you 100%.
It'd be nice, for example, if core mantainers, when a noobie asks the obvious, would reply with a link to the wiki, rather than the usual; "Couldn't you search it before, eh?".
No flame intended...

I think it has something to do with a bunch of evil spammers getting accounts and bombarding the site.

Also, the original wiki maintainer seems to be on holiday.

Hi Guys and Gals,

this unfortunately doesn't reflect very well on the management. May I propose to elect a deputy wiki maintainer to keep things moving and keep the evil spammers at bay?

As the grandparent to this post mentioned, it would give n00bs like me a nice first start into life with dsl, instead of annoying the regulars with newbie questions.

Thanks,

hopefully the higher powers are listening.

P.S. Oh, btw: Dsl rocks!
