You're welcome.

I agree with you; this would be much easier to allow people directly
edit the wiki, but as i told you the wiki was like this before and was
hacked, which really was annoying to the person in charge of it (Damien
Sandras) as he has *lots* of other things to do (coding, administrating
ekiga.net, etc.). Since then, editing the wiki has been restricted to a
circle of few trusted people using passwords. See below... IMHO, having
it hosted elsewhere, isn't really a solution as the problem is *who*
will be in charge of it. Who will dedicated his time to this task
assuming the person is a wiki master who can deal with
"sabotage"/hacks ? I'm not that kind of people... In the other hand, the
Ekiga team see now the wiki system as a very good way to document Ekiga.
It seems, we will use it more and more...

...this is mostly the way it works. Damien Sandras, as he is the wiki
administrator, granted me access to the wiki giving me a password and i
started working on it.

If you want to directly edit the wiki, ask Damien. I can't give you
access to it.

Perhaps, we should open a new page in the wiki providing infos how to
grant access to edit the wiki for people willing to help on it...
