[Caml-list] How to join ocaml-tutorial.org?

[Martin Jambon]

Hi list,

Is it possible to create new user accounts to edit the OCaml tutorial at
http://ocaml-tutorial.org/ ?

http://ocaml-tutorial.org/_login says "This site is only available for use
to registered members. If you believe that you should be a member of this
site, please contact the administrator with your email address and reason
for joining."

But it doesn't says who the administrator is. Richard, do you still have
the admin rights? If not, what's the cheapest solution to circumvent the
problem?

Thanks,

Martin

cocan have been deasabled for editing too,
I guess there have been spam-edit problems,
message for the maintainer:
if you wish re-enable edit,
I could provide a captcha like system written in OCaml...

Yes it is possible, and yes I still do have admin rights (I should
hope, since I run the domain & servers :-) Because of a huge amount of
spam I was forced to disable free account creation a few months ago.

I've sent an email invite to your current email address. Anyone else
who has problems, please send me an email and include 'ocaml'
prominently in the subject line.

Also I hope this is of interest: I've picked up mod_caml & cocanwiki
development again for Fedora & RHEL, so I should have F10 packages for
them shortly, plus an active upstream.

Rich.

Now I'm seeing this on the bottom of the first page: "This website is a
wiki. This means you can edit any page to correct mistakes or improve the
tutorial. Because of spammers signing up endless fake accounts, I have
disabled new account creation. Please email rich on-the-annexia.org
server for a new account."

I think it would be great if you could make this info visible on
http://ocaml-tutorial.org/_login

Thanks. It was primarily for someone (Gregoire Seux, cc'ed) who made a
French translation of 2 pages and was asking me to put this into the
wiki.

Cool. I very much appreciate the non-bloated design.
