NumPy example list is corrupted

I've been editing the "Tentative NumPy? Tutorial" and occasionally referring to the "NumPy? Example List" ( http://www.scipy.org/Numpy_Example_List ). In the process, I think I mistakenly corrupted the NumPy Example List. Since the website does not offer any wiki-type functionality for reverting changes or referring to a history of changes, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to fix the problem. Nor is there a "Contact Us" link on the page. I tried the scipy channel on irc/freenode, but no one was there. I eventually filed a bug (#1963), then later decided that maybe this mailing list would be another and perhaps better way to report the problem. In addition to fixing the immediate problem, it would be nice if someone could give registered users the ability for reverting changes to the page as well. That should prevent problems like this in the future. Thanks, Alan

Thanks a lot, Robert. That should enable me to do what I want to do. Unfortunately, I now get internal server errors whenever I try to commit a change. The message instructs me to send an e-mail to root@enthought.com, which I'll do separately. Couldn't someone add to the page an icon, or even a static link, that links to the "action=info" URL? Who's the right person to ask?

Looks like my change went through after all, despite the internal server error message.

It's already there --- it's as part of standard Moinmoin wiki configuration --- the one with the letter 'i' in it on the upper right corner of the page. -- Pauli Virtanen
