Thanks Juergen for the kind words. We might need more sysop people maintaining the wiki itself, that is really needed. There are soo much to do in the wiki, to get it cleaned, mark pages as outdated, concenctrate information (like build instructions) all in order to ensure it is easier to find the information you need.
But I think it is a bad idea to have too many people with sudo access, that makes it very hard to keep a stable and documented configuration. We are at the moment 2 (+infra) with sudo access, and that should be enough for that kind of work. Be aware that many of things I do with the new vm (wiki2) requires a tight cooperation with infra-root, because it get deeply integrated into the structure (current wiki, is nearly not integrated at all) and if several persons from our project were to coordinate that it would be difficult. Also remember we have the WIKI servers. AOO, translate and cwiki are crossproject and as such maintained by infra (I know I do it as a person, but in this case with INFRA views). Rgds Jan I.
