A mailing list, possibly attached to a ticketing/queue system, seems a
good idea? If it's just a list, admins should ack when they've added
someone to avoid duplicated effort.

OK, so who wants to create accounts? What are your haskell.org usernames? -- Ashley

As usual, I am User:Gwern. On the side-topic of a mailing list - I really think that is too heavy-weight. We want people to create a login (for the ML) and go through the ML, just to get wiki access? A view I've long held is that wikis only work because they are easy to contribute to. When you ask someone for a favor, you don't make them jump through hoops. Even trivial extra steps cut down the # of people willing to do it. There must be methods that put as little a burden on eager would-be newbie editors. Just posting the emails of people with account-creation abilities is the easiest way I can think of. - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAko4MWIACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oKtagCfQNTxtn5dnTqwXxD5YP5zTO+w TjwAn2JAu09ackQs8xY44qPoe2p2g6v5 =oGcB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
OK, the people listed here have been given the ability to create accounts: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/?title=Special%3AListusers&group=createaccount I'm willing to hand this ability out to pretty much anyone who seems unlikely to be a spammer. To create an account, go to the login page. http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Special:Userlogin You should see five text boxes instead of two. Enter the desired username, and the person's email, and click on the "by email" button. You do not need to enter a password. Rules for usernames are the same as rules for particle titles, so the first character cannot be a lower-case letter (actually, it will get folded to upper-case). But spaces are OK. If you want to let people know that you can do this for them, add your email address here: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellWiki:New_accounts -- Ashley Yakeley

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ok, we now have 3 people with createaccount: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/?title=Special%3AListusers&group=createaccount&username= myself byorgey & Magnus (Neil Mitchell and Don Stewart having not accepted/declined in this thread.) Does anyone feel a need for these people to also be admins, or will just createaccount status handle the wiki's problems for the foreseeable future? - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREKAAYFAko9P1sACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oIOUgCgnYFfMGSY4ppDjY+ZW9da0rjC L3IAn0+k1G8ya9o3oTZ/NXs8mx7Xa1gN =A82l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Who said anything about creating mailing list logins? Probably the
easiest-for-user thing us a form that sends the mail for them.
