I tried using the wiki and have some feedback:


How do I create a new page? The front page suggests going to "Pages
section and clicking on the create new page link", but this link does
not exist.

How do I edit a page? When I try editing I get "The page isn't
redirecting properly".

By default accounts do not have edit/create privileges. I guess this
would reduce abuse but it will also reduce input by genuine users.
Could this be reconsidered?
Also what is the current process for requesting edit/create
privileges? This is not covered on the front page.

If I go to a page that does not exist (eg http://wiki.web2py.com/page_that_does_not_exist)
I get a redirect error. Would it be possible to redirect to a create
new page form with this name, Wikipedia style?

The "forgot password" feature lets me reset the password of any email
address. Could an email instead be sent with a link to reset the
password?
Also the reminder was classified as spam by gmail. Perhaps including
their profile name in the email would minimize this.

Page links text are showed as "How_to_Geolocate" - could these
underscores be changed to spaces? ("How to Geolocate")

I would like to add a list of web2py hosting providers that people can
contribute to. Wiki doesn't seem ready (see above) - any other
options?

You should create a page in the book and I will link it.
