Unfortunately, it looks like the public wiki-style pages in the APML
Google Group have been purposefully messed up. Many of the links (if
not all of them) now point to a web video site.

http://groups.google.com/group/apml-public/web

Anyone have the time to go through each page and correct the links? Or
should these pages be removed entirely, perhaps with pointers to the
PBwiki site?

Damn!

The Wiki site should only contain the Spec for now - all other content
is supposed to be here in the google group.

Would someone mind volunteering to fix the links?

Chris,

It isn't the pbwiki site that has the problem - it is the Google Group. And sadly whilst the google group has versioning, it has no revert function.

Paul and Chris -

If the discussion has moved to the PBwiki, perhaps it makes sense to
simply delete the pages on the Google Groups.

Otherwise, perhaps a copy-paste of simply the existing text (i.e.
without the links) makes sense.

I would be happy to fix the wiki by reverting to the pre-grafitti
versions if I had sufficient access - looks like I may need to be a
moderator in order to revert pages?

(I tried following this process http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=46832&topic=9252
but the "Make this the current version" link does not appear for me.)

Hi Dan,

I did the copy and paste strategy of repair on all the pages, since I wasn't an admin and didn't know that feature was there...

To prevent this happening again, we've now locked down the editing.

Paul.
