Thanks for helping with that Dave.

I have had some interest in moving away from Kwiki, and this event only
accelerates that. (Although I still don't have a clear path of what
other wiki we should migrate to). 

Somewhat related to that, the website redesign project is ready to move
forward, but I need a password reset on that box to regain FTP&SSH access. 
We may also want to give another trusted developer access as part of the
update. We can email further about this privately.

Thanks for your help with this!
