Greetings,  all.

I just was perusing the APRSWiki, and noticed some missing info. I'd like to correct it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to apply for an account to authorize editing the corrections in.

How does one apply for an account?

Scott Miller is the owner of the wiki and the primary sysadmin.

Automated account creation was disabled several years ago because of rampant
spamming (many thousands of spam pages and spammer accounts were being
created, and the CAPTCHA that was in place didn't stem the tide). Now, to get
an account you email one of the adminstrators.

I am one one of them. If you email me privately and tell me what account
name you want, I'll create it with a randomly generated password that you can
then change to suit yourself.

I will not be around for the next few hours, so if you email me now I won't
be able to create the account until late morning/early afternoon.

There are two other administrators, K0STK and WA5ZNU in addition to Scott,
N1VG. Any of them can help as well.
