Re: Wikitech-l Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1 - Wikitech-l

9 Jul 2004

      I suddenly received this digest in my mail box, while
I am not registered to receive ANY of the wikipedia
mailing lists.
What happened ? How come it was turned on while I did
not request it ?

There seems to be a strange problem with wikiDE-l: I
didn't get any 
messages from April 17 to 20. Another person
reported the same. And 
yesterday someone said he didn't get any digests
since May 1.
Could someone please look into this? Thanks!
Kurt

Euh Evan... this is a good idea for a computer-able
person :-(
Which is hardly a description fitting with me. What
I love with 
Wikipedia, is that I can edit it without needing to
learn all these 
complicated things about ... well about things I
really know nothing 
about :-(
but thanks for the suggestion
(keep the site working for me please ;-))

Sounds like you're running 1.2. Templates are in
1.3.
