Ok, I understand that move but for our purposes that's probably the end of the WiKi as a tool. I'm sure that if you'd ask somebody like Dan or Tom nicely you could get in but I also suspect that neither feels like confirming a few accounts a week through whatever set of red-tape that procedure may have. Another issue is that it's now xmass break so the web department there probably doesn't feel like doing a lot (and rightly so!).
