Hey all.. the shared login for wiki.zope.org editing has been discovered by a spammer, so I've changed the password. The login is now zope, edit0r. See the message below for more context. Best, -Simon In 2011/05 I wrote:
Dear all,
edit spam across the wiki.zope.org wikis, gradually increasing over the years, has reached multiple incidents per day, multiple days per month. Current cleanup procedures take too much time (and are not 100% thorough - spam remains in history) and I don't want to spend time developing cleverer defenses. Therefore, from today making changes on any of the wiki.zope.org wikis requires authentication (a zwiki username cookie is no longer enough.)
This marks the transition of our wikis from those early, lowest- possible-barrier-to-entry wiki days, to the modern era of mandatory access control. :-/
Since there is no member management software in place to allow you to self-register, to get a login you'll need to either
- - ask an admin to make one for you. The current wiki.zope.org admin users are: Simon Michael, Andreas Jung, Baiju Muthukadan, Sascha Welter, Michael Haubenwallner, Fred Drake, Jim Fulton, Ken Manheimer, Kevin Teague.
- - use this generic login: zope, zope. The downside of using this a lot is that edit history will become less useful.
Also, on wikis using the default skin (all but the zope3 wiki), to trigger a login prompt you'll need to manually visit some restricted url. Eg append /editform to any page, like so: http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/Zope2Wiki/editform
I hope this will stop the spam, and not inconvenience editors too much. Please let me know if you have authenticated and still can't edit.
If you are interested in improving this setup, doing any other maintenance of the zope wikis, or taking over as zope wiki czar - please step forward! I'd be happy to mentor and provide all needed support.
Best, - -Simon
