using a static password, which is posted in a mailinglist, isn't very secure. 
I've got an idee (but i'm not able to implement this), if someone want's to 
edit the wiki page, a formular opens and you will be asked for your email. 
Now the server generates a random password, which is send to the user.
I think this is more secure than 'lyx'. It's also possible to log the 
email/password for several day's so that it is possible to get the people 
that are hacking the site.
