Basically you tell us that the vandals won. Can't accept that.

I think it's of utterly importance that we keep the community posted on
how to gain edit access at each time. The measures to prevent abuse
simply need to be smart enough to not rely on not disclosing that info.

Personally I would like to see a small note about it at the top of every
single page in the wikis. (As regards the community help wiki I have
access - as a member of ~ubuntu-core-doc - to add such a note. Think
we'd need Canonical help for wiki.ubuntu.com.)

Agreed.

More people ready to contribute would also be good. No point in having a
leader without people to lead.
