[SAC] Spam in Wiki

[Seven (aka Arnulf)]

Hi,
I really like this activity and would like to support it as best I can.
What needs to be done next? We should probably start to inform and warn
the broader OSGeo community of upcoming changes (one of the few things I
can do...).

Who feels entitled to extend the LDAP login form and add corresponding
fields as suggested by Martin?

What else needs to be done?

Best regards,
Arnulf
