Who is the admin of the GNUstep wiki? (was: Re: New "GNUstep based Desktop Environments" Page in the GNUstep wiki)

Hi List,


we have a Mediawiki for GNUstep, but the write access is limited.

Who is in charge of granting those rights?


Something else came up: our Mediawiki-Version is old and has no visual editor. The user asked for an update of Mediawiki.

Who can do this? Same person as the person with the user right management? Or is this somebody else?


Kind regards,

	Lars
