Well, its been nearly a month since I first asked
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2003-October/006546.html
so since nobody else wants to do it, I will.
Can I be given the server access needed in order to add pages to the foundation's website (http://wikimediafoundation.org/) and the Wikimedia portal (http://wikimedia.org/)? I should be able to figure out how to do Brion's 'export from meta page' trick, me thinks.
I maintain a ~500 page website (I'll email a link confirming this to any current developer who wants it, but I don't want to make public where I work), using Dreamweaver (mostly HTML stuff, though). It doesn't explode that often, honest! :) And when it does it is almost always not my fault (pages are served using an ancient version of Resin and the database functionality was hacked together by somebody else years ago - I don't have control over that).
Eventually I would like to also start helping Brion clear some of the more mundane items on his ToDo list.
Hm. Come to think of it, a page on meta would be a better place to ask for developer access....

Daniel-
we definitely need more people to blame when things go really wrong. So I wholeheartedly support your request!
