Hi
I've come across quite a few wiki contribs & howto's that are outdated, which I'd lile to update (the URL's have changed, or the downloads have move, for example), yet I can't login to the Wiki with my Forum username & password. Can an admin please check what's wrong with my account on the Wiki?

Please launch a request in the bugtracker.

thanx, I'll pass. I have the bugtracker, and IMO I don't see why I need to log a bug if I can't access the wiki. IMO there's just too many places that needs a username & password.

Then your problem will most likely not be solved, the proper place to request wiki access is the bugtracker and not the forums.
The username and password is to keep spammers and bots away and make sure users are valid users, it is your choice not to request an account, but do not complain about not being able to access certain features...

I thought the forum U&P was good on tthe wiki??
Mine is, don't remember asking for access.....hummm...

Is it because it is a bug or is that the procedure required to gain access?
-
AFAIK it's the procedure to gain access.
So I launched a bug (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3660 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3660)) two month ago...and I'm still waiting :-?
Nothing against the persons who are accountable for activiation of the wiki accounts, but it's hard to help at the wiki without an account...

Appears as though SME Server might be falling by the wayside....
Nothing seems to be happening around here anymore.
Nothing has been done on the election...so it looks like things are in limbo...
Real shame to let such a good distro go down the drain...
Hope I'm wrong about this...

Well people like yourself do need to step up and contribute in whatever way they can in order to make "things happen" !
Stop thinking that someone else will do it all for you, when it's really a case of if everyone does a little bit then we all end up doing it for each other.
There is a lot happening, please don't make casual comments like that. sme 7.3 was recently released, there is a new smev8.0 under development, lot's of contribs & Howtos are being developed & added, and the forums & bugtracker are quite active.
Nothing has been done on the election...so it looks like things are in limbo...
Well it needs people to step up and volunteer for the positions, if there are no candidates, then how can there be any election. If I recall correctly there is only one nomination at present.
Real shame to let such a good distro go down the drain...
Hope I'm wrong about this...
Well do something about it then.

Perhaps it has been actioned, have you tried logging in to the wiki ?
If still no go, then I would send an email to staff@contribs.org to jog someones memory.

Yes I tried it several times and now again...no success
Login error: You have not specified a valid user name.

Yeah good idea...thanks...sent a mail

Thanks Ray
I was wondering if this was a ghost town or what.
Good to see someone's minding the store.
As far as contributing, I do when I have the time....like the last few days.
Would like to contribute more however, I'm not sure of the what,when, where, how much $$ for two reasons.
1 haven't been around here much lately.
2 Don't see much info about the above.... what,when, where, how much $$
What appears to me is the lack of info from the existing contribs.org.
For example....after 3+ years here at contribs I still don't know who the leaders of the band are.
I was at another site recently and they had a page of all the working member in charge
with name, address, phone#, website, email and mug shots.
Wow I said to myself..!
Every community needs to do that....the basics.
Who's in charge now, who's leaving and what needs to be done to make this community thrive.
Did I miss that info somewhere?
But it appears that contribs is where it was 2 years ago and it doesn't look promising from here.
I certainly hope I'm very wrong.
Looks like the economy is going to give me a little more free time then usual.
Feels good to sit on my ass for awhile.
The bottom line is, what can I do to help other then what I do now, which ain't much.
I have been testing things, checking/editing the wiki.
What else?
Anyway....thanks Ray...I know how much work you and many others have put into contribs,
so I apologize to all.

So if you think that would be a good thing here, then get in touch with staff@contribs.org and volunteer to set up that page in the wiki. As everyone can have editing access to the wiki (except to the manuals), then you can create the page yourself. It's a free community and you can create whatever pages you feel like (within reason) in the wiki. Just do it, rather than ask for or expect someone else to do it.
The bottom line is, what can I do to help other then what I do now, which ain't much.

Well that's good, but please be a bit more optimistic.

Installing & testing sme8 and providing feedback seems to be a major task.
Also verifiying bugs for sme7.x.

you need to remind the admin about your access request..
your effort must be hard enought to show that you are very interested to access the wiki
This happened to me when I request access to wiki,
I have to remind the admin until one day Gavin give me the access
you'll have those 'Documentation Team' text and 'purple decoration' near your name when your access to wiki granted.

So Gavin is the one i should remind?
Niklas
EDIT:
As I just saw Gavin noticed my bug :-)
EDIT 2:
He added me :D

EDIT 2:
He added me :D
Yes I did, but a note to all... please make sure you are serious wiki editors as we have recently trimmed the wiki team due to amount of non contributing editors. We are a small team with many things to do so if it does take some time for a response please remind us if its been a while since you lodged the bug report.
Thanks to all!
