[Dspace-general] Wiki security

[Tansley, Robert]

Hi all,

As some of you may have notice, our Wiki has been heavily spammed over
the last couple of days.  In order that we can spend our time on
DSpace-related things instead of removing links to online casinos, we've
tightened security on the Wiki a little.

It's still open for anyone to sign up and edit, but between signing up
and actually editing pages, you need to email one of the DSpace lists
(-general, -tech or -devel) to get one of the Wiki admins to add you to
the list of authorised users.  This shouldn't take long.

All existing Wiki users have already been authorised, so you don't need
to sign up etc. again.

We hope to have a better process for this soon (perhaps a dedicated
wiki-admin list).
