Winter Knight, I sent you a forum message a couple of days ago, did you get it?

While trying to find the info on creating DSL extensions in the WIKI I found that the page telling how to do this isn't linked to from the front page. The category MyDSL (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Category:MyDSL) is linked to by DSL Tools (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/DSL_Tools)
but that is not linked to from anywhere - it should have a link from the front page. AlthoughI have a WIKI account the front page is locked & so I can't modify it. Can someone with the appropriate permission please add a link to the DSL tools on the front page. If nothing else the DSL Tools page provides a good list of the basic tool scripts - useful when setting up a system using text mode.

I thought the same about the myDSL category. It definitely should be linked to the main page. However, the main page and the mydsl page are both locked, so even with an account these issues can't be fixed. As far as I know, John is currently the only person with the power to do anything about it (Saidin has apparently gone away).

Any news about John, Knite and the Wiki resurection?

I'm willing to invest some effort too. I'm not committing time (availablity or ammounts) but I'm indeed willing to commit quality by following any strict cross-checked procedure that might be established.

Please, let me know how could I (we) help!

John and I have been in contact. He has agreed to accept my offer to administer the wiki. As I understand things, he's upgrading the server, or maybe the wiki software, and getting the wiki back in working condition. It will probably be open again soon.

Update (Oct 2, 2006): Got my administrator username and password. John installed a captcha image for new user registration. Parts of the wiki are unlocked, and can be edited. The front page is still locked. I'll see about making it more friendly.
