[pylucene-dev] OSAF wiki offer

Hi!  I was pointed at the pylucene wiki thread recently.  I know there's 
not a consensus yet, but representing OSAF IT, I can offer with little 
hassle, a wiki area on the existing wiki.osafoundation.org site.  The 
default configuration is "must be registered to edit" and "confirm 
account creation via email" (no captcha).

We track down spammers when we see them, and there's built-in anti-spam 
code that seems to be working quite well these days.  But Andi is right 
that wiki's do tend to work better if there's one or more people who 
take on maintenance duties by default.  You can get an email or RSS 
notice of all changes, so it can at least be pretty easy to stay 
informed of changes.

While we could create another wiki instance, there's admin benefits for 
us to only have the one instance.  The look-and-feel for a new area 
(left nav, colors, etc) can be customized through the wiki itself; 
hopefully that's a nice balance for the pylucene community.

I'm happy to answer questions or take on the setup if the community 
decides to proceed.  Thanks!
