Hi..

Thanks for the first responses, it seems I need to very precise. I did not
ask for wiki-vm or forum-vm, that is in LDAP (you see the machines you have
shell access to in id.a.o), I need to know who the application (web
interface) administrators are.

Ideally we should have 2-3 admins for our wiki. When I look at the logs, I
cannot see any admin actions over the last couple of months, and when I
look  at some of the new pages, I believe we are getting spammed again.

Ideally we should have 1-2 admin pr national/language forum. Currently most
forums seems to be without a admin, even the EN forum does not seem to have
regular admin activity. Bear in mind though, I cannot judge how much admin
work is needed on the forums..

My intention is to keep the admins and the vm-admins updated before planned
actions happen as well as this list in case of planned outages, so they can
take appropriate action.

Making forums read-only is pretty easy, its a matter of disabling login and
not allow anonymous posting. But then I will also ask the these forums are
removed from the daily backup cycle.
