Hi all,
currently everybody can create an account on the OSGeo Wiki - no
restrictions whatsoever (Frank plusoned this one through). WikiSysop
priviliges are only required to block pages or block users which I believe
will not be necessary in the near future.

Alan,
please feel free to create an account and hack the Wiki wherever you deem
useful. Chris and Markus seem to want to have your input here:
