Re: wiki page

Yes, 8 months ago when counting the 3 level point releases. 2.8 itself
was a year and 1/2 ago. An 8 months ago release of a 3rd level point
release is a very long time.

Active wiki administrators can counteract spammers by banning them and
erasing the files they generate. This is what I do at the MobileRead
wiki. The requirement to register is not currently even needed but spam
is rejected daily and sometimes less than a day. This can be
accomplished without the extension. It is amazing how quick a wiki can
run down with active management.

Active administrators seem not to be present. You cannot contact them in
any fashion as they do not respond, but perhaps they are all on
vacation. Are you one? What about the webmaster email?
