I remember the Docbook wiki got erased completely by an evil bot, this
was a big loss.

http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/

Shouldn't we do something to prevent situations like that?



BTW:  It would be really nice if one could create one central Ruby account,
which then would work with: rubyforge, rubygarden, rcrchive, raa, rubynews.
Is such unification realistic ?
