[Moin-devel] Admin tasks

Sure. If somebody would write a nice admin tool in python, that would be 
nice. ;)

You shouldnt edit the pickle. Just remove data/user/xxxxx.xxx.* (grep 
for correct file) and after that, simple delete the pickle so moin 
recreates it.

I think there is simply somebody missing writing nice python code and 
documentation for that.
