Hi,

I'm not using the Wikispy space right now, but as soon as I get back to
the project I'd prefer to have my setup back, so it sounds like it would
be best to keep it for now. Is you're running out of disk space, would
you like me to donate towards the maintenance of my over-100GiB HDD space?

Cheers,
d33tah
