Hello guys!
My name is Ray and I'm an ex-LinuxMCE convert.
Have been playing around with the awesome XBMC for about a month now and must say, I'm quite impressed with the work you've done so far. Already have 3 other guys in the office hooked on the XBMC and Mythbox add-on combination....
So here's the thing, I want to give back, so I was looking through the wiki to see where I could help out but then ran into the first thing testing it out; can't create new pages, heck, can't even create my own user page...what's up with that? I thought. Then reading a bit further and looking at the "Wanted Pages" I realized why...all the vandalism and junk that the wiki has gotten...its ridiculous. So though I now understand the reasoning behind the lockdown, I have seen the many benefits of multiple cooperation and collaboration on wikis, the knowledge shared, exponential growth, etc., etc.
Having said all that, now here's my questions,
1) what does someone need to do to get access to create pages?
2) was the lockdown in effect because we didn't have Captcha implemented, or did the vandalism still occurred even with Captcha?
Thank you all for all you do...I realize we are all volunteers here, and you guys have done a heck of a job with the current product.
