[Ron Blanchett]

And everyone has edit rights again (so get to editing).
Also if you think you should have edit rights and you don't let me know.

Right, the way a wiki works is not by starting over from scratch. You
conserve the info about who used to be on concom by making a page
about the past concom; then update the page about the existing concom
so that it is up to date.

The only reason I haven't been updating the wiki is that Ron had to
turn off everybody's editing rights while he merged the different
login systems into just one login system.
