− | This website operates under MediaWiki software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki|wiki]]. However, the site is protected against random editing, which means that you must create a user account to edit articles. In addition, at present only WikiSysop can create new accounts, because the wiki was recently spammed (read the details at [[Spam Attack]]). The site thus currently operates as the personal database of [[User:MichaelSlattery|Michael Slattery]], who hopes that it may be of use to others. Note that the [http://ctwiki.ouvaton.org Convivial Projects Wiki] is still (for the moment) a "real" wiki, although as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Wiley David Wiley] says: "A wiki without contributors is nothing but a blog on steroids." | + | This website operates under MediaWiki software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki|wiki]].
