[editing the Python wiki] requiring asking for editing rights on the pydotorg-www mailing list. Which is a little annoying and some work for the admins, but has resulted in the amount of spam to go down to zero. We usually grant the editing requests within a day.
I quite understand the motivation for this. It does need to be recognised that this will dramatically reduce the number of pople who will pass that hurdle to edit the wiki, and thus the wiki loses a lot of edits (both helpful and unhelpful) it might otherwise have. Thanks to those doing the work to maintain Python community infrastructure. -- \ “If you can do no good, at least do no harm.” —_Slapstick_, | `\ Kurt Vonnegut | _o__) | Ben Finney
