Hey,
Just a quick little status report that seemed like a better fit as an
inline reply to this email instead of standalone. Enjoy!

<pre wrap="">I don't want to sound pedantic but the technical possibilities/limitations WILL have an effect on how your wiki will evolve, even if not directly affecting what's ALREADY there.

need to have the details hammered out and finalized (Marco, got any

was just handed the keys :D</pre>

I don't yet know how much fine-grained you need the rights to be for
the wiki, but assuming that every maintainer has the same rights,
and every public client would have the same (but different?) rights
too; it's really easy to set this up with gitolite.<br>
