toma reset it but for some reason I still can't connect even after we verified 
the password hash.

Currently on usability.kde.org we have custom navigation on the left hand 
side.  With techbase, we're stuck with the general techbase navigation on the 
left.  I guess we can create a page template for our own navigation near the 
top of all the Projects/Usability pages, but then you have too many layers 
going on.

I am subscribed to all of the HIG pages and AFAIK you can't commit anonymous 
changes in techbase.  I asked the admins and they don't know of a way to 
subscribe to all pages within a section, you have to subscribe to pages 
individually.  So pages could certainly be created that we don't know about 
that have nasty stuff on them.

We've got several votes for the wiki.. anyone who wants the website speak up 
now or forever hold your peace.
