No problem.

Yipeee!

Thanks so much! This is already a great help; now I can keep track of people 
testing their Zope.org account in the Wikis!

Can we get new creation and updating working as well? Pretty please! :-)

Good enough for me.

I think it is not needed.

Yeah, what do other people think about that? It might distract from other 
traffic, as some Wiki reworkings could generate a lot of mail; but I have 
nothing against it.

Simon, while we are at it; would it be possible to have the user and date/time 
of the last modification on the page again? This used to be incredibly useful 
meta-data.

Also, the history display at the moment is useless. I cannot even see who 
modified at what time the Wiki Page. There are only comments, which most 
people do not even enter.

Thank you so very much for looking into this!

Regards,
Stephan
