So we've just suffered another wave of (bot?) attacks...  Maybe we should disallow account creation or something like that? I mean require people to send a mail to the sysops to get an account.--[[User:DonDiego|DonDiego]] 07:03, 11 April 2007 (EDT)

Can we make some infos skeletons for the contributors and give links to the documentation of the wiki system and/or guide for how to write and which modification tags available?

I'm sure I blogged about that somewhere. If you can find a good place for it on the Wiki, be my guest. --Multimedia Mike 12:20, 22 September 2006 (EDT)

What about a section for image formats?--Dcsmith77 22:47, 4 October 2006 (EDT)

Vandalism

how about locking the front page from vandals? or from users who arent 24 hrs or so old? Compn 22:20, 25 November 2006 (EST)

Sounds like a great idea-- I just need to sit down with the MediaWiki documentation long enough to figure out how to do it. --Multimedia Mike 10:31, 26 November 2006 (EST)
Hmm, I somehow managed to fumble a rollback. I have marked the Main Page as protected. Only SysOps can edit it now. This should put a lid on spamming DonDiego 16:31, 27 November 2006 (EST)

Research And Reverse Engineering

Today this reads "[i]One goal of the MultimediaWiki is to open up the field of multimedia technology to a wider audience of multimedia "hackers". Should it really say "hackers"? Should it not say 'open source programmers/developers' instead? I mean the word hacker is often refered to in the press as a person who breaks into other people computers for illegal or malicious purposes. --Gamester17 11:00, 29 Mars 2007 (GMT+1)

I don't think anybody here cares about what the general public associates with the word hacker. For the target audience the meaning should be clear. Plus, I don't think we should give in to the hijacking of the term hacker from its orginal meaning. --DonDiego 07:36, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
I agree with Diego. The term stays. --Multimedia Mike 15:25, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
