I think Dan was meant that the SourceForge provided Mediawiki requires 
everyone to be a dev on the project in order to edit. So that makes it hard 
for non-devs to post to that wiki.

I assume that on the new one he has put in one general user, just like we have 
on the swiki...

Personally, I don't like the layout of the MediaWiki so much.. the links on 
the right always make me think there is a menu, but generally the links there 
are rather unrelated to the topic the wiki is actually about...
and I think only selected users (?) can change that? I'm not sure, I never 
found a way to make the menu on the right useful...


sincerely,
Marije
