<p>Due to extreme amounts of spam in the past, the Wiki is locked
down so you need to apply for rights. You need to have a
Launchpad account and then apply to join the wiki editors team -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors">https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors</a> - once added there you
can create your application page.</p>
<p>However, for PPU rights, those get processed by the Developer
Membership Board, and you have to abide by the DMB schedule. The
DMB may want to see sustained contributions as well for the
package.</p>

List,
<br>
<br>
I'm trying to maintain the OpenCPN package. As a part of this I
have made my first attempt to make a backport [1].
<br>
<br>
The backport is reviewed by Dan Streetman (thanks!). We are both
happy with it.
<br>
<br>
Unsurprisingly, it's hard to find a sponsor, so things are stuck.
Dan has proposed that I apply for PPU permissions for the package.
Although this will take a long time, it might make things easier
in the long run.
<br>
<br>
The PPU application process is to some extent described in [2].
The first part is to create a wiki page for the application. So, I
try to create <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlecLeamas/PPUopencpn">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlecLeamas/PPUopencpn</a>.
However, I get "You are not allowed to edit this page."
<br>
<br>
Seems that I'm not allowed (too dumb?) to even make the
application. Which makes me wonder how this is supposed to work...
<br>
<br>
Can anyone shed some light on this?
