Agreed! I don't have the time nor the experience to lead any sort of organized documentation effort but I'd be happy to help out where I can. Is this something that can be done by committee? Or, better yet, wild, wild west style? It is a Wiki afterall :)

How does one get editing access to the wiki and does anyone have a copy of the old documentation that was one the darwinports web site? Mike On May 11, 2007, at 7:51 PM, Fred Bauder wrote:

The old documentation is available for browsing in the Internet Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20060427120406/darwinports.opendarwin.org/ docs/ You can also check out the XML files from the MacPorts repository: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/doc/guide
First climb the tallest mountain in Australia and find the blind monk who lives at the top. You must perform three tasks for him, if you succeed he will whisper to you the Secret Words of Power. Find the lost city of Atlantis and utter these words of power; a computer terminal will rise from the depths. If you correctly guess the administrator password on the first try, you can then add yourself to the list of wiki editors. --- Michael Thon <mike012012@yahoo.com> wrote:

I think you've missed a step. I tried all that, and the tofu steak sacrifices, but: I still get an error when I try to access my account preferences, and I still can't add to the trac, even though I can log in! -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex x3148
I can access my account preferences, but I can't edit the wiki or enter trac items (no links appear for either one). Basically the options are the same whether I'm logged in or not. Jeff --- Ian Eiloart <iane@sussex.ac.uk> wrote:

Sounds to me like the MacPorts admins should have a look at whether or not your accounts are borked; I've forwarded this to macports-mgr (apologies if I'm spamming them with this) in the hope that they can help you.

I was starting to suspect this too. I tried various things, like doing the account update suggested by macosforge ( http:// www.macosforge.org/?p=5 ) and creating a new account but neither seem to give me write access to the wiki. I can submit tickets to trac though. Mike On May 21, 2007, at 10:43 AM, Boey Maun Suang wrote:

Hi Michael,

Ah, that's a little different; I'm afraid that the behaviour that you describe is actually what is supposed to happen at present. In other words, users with ordinary Trac accounts can only open tickets and attach files or comments to them (but not change any of a ticket's properties once opened, even if they opened them); only those who have been granted commit rights can also edit the wiki. I believe that things were initially set up this way because there is currently no other "official" documentation (the old DarwinPorts official docs not yet having been reborn), and there has been some discussion about getting this altered, but I'm not sure what the state of that is at present. This will certainly be one thing that the documentation working group will address once it is established (there are a few people, including myself, who want to work on this, but none of us yet have enough time to lead it; feel free if you're up to it!) In the meantime, I'd be happy to post edits to the wiki on your behalf. I know it's not ideal, but it's much better than nothing.
