If the community agrees to it, using the lazy consensus, I volunteer to

Thank you very much!

If nobody object I will very fast do the proposed mysql changes:
- remove accounts with no contributions during the last year.
- removing all new users within the last 2 weeks.
and prepare an update to the newest version, (and as Alexandro suggest
have
a test server) which first run it on my own ubuntu, before going live.
I agree, except that I suggest to remove only accounts that never
contributed anything. There are many pages from the pre-AOO times with
very interesting content that were created or updated by people lost AOO
out of their focus in the meantime. Their contributions are valuable
though and should not be forgotten.
Maybe the page histories would suffer by removing such accounts completely.

I have one question though, why do we have cwiki and wiki....I might
be the
only one, but I get confused where to find which information, so maybe we
should decide to have all information in just one wiki ??
If I remember correctly there was an issue with the license of our
mediawiki, such that the existing content could not simply be relicensed
to ALv2

Hi, all,
There may be a little confusion on the current state of the wiki. It is
very good: thanks to the really super work by a really super crew of
volunteers, the spam is all deleted; the average life-span of new spam
is about half an hour. But we can't keep that up forever.
What needs SQL-level deleting is:
* empty new accounts (never any activity)
* blocked accounts with only deleted contributions (the deleted
contribs, spam, should go, too)
The removal of this trash shouldn't cause problems (fingers crossed).
With the wiki set to "invitation only" new accounts, we should have time
for some longer-range planning.
