Hi Connor, Dean, all

Firstly my apologies to you and others for being one of the people
with delete/move capabilities on the h.u.c/c wiki and neglecting my
duties.  A combination of being somewhat inactive recently and not
knowing of the existence of that WikiToDo page (probably due to the
former) have led to this situation.  Both of these aspects have now
changed.  The next mistake was to start working from the top of the
list :-) .

As I understand it, it has always been the intention that members of
the Launchpad ubuntu-wiki team have delete/move privileges but that it
has not been set up.  Currently, those abilities have to be endowed by
someone with administrative access to the wiki engine (MoinMoin)
itself.  From now I will devoting more time to WikiToDo, so hopefully
that will help.

I've done some of the requested deletions - including all the
Beginners/ ones.  I need to spend some time looking into the others
(eg. editing referring pages - it would be good if deletion requesters
would do this more).  Hopefully some of the others with the privs will
chime in too.

Cheers, Dave.
