Unless you want to do something that changes how the wiki works, you don't need approval before working on your great idea - go ahead!
If your idea involves a major change in the wiki, make a proposal and sample, then ask for comments (on the debian-www mailing list).

Admins

Please see the FAQ before contacting the admins below.

Content Administration

Please see the FAQ before contacting the admins below.

Currently, there is no official debian-wiki content team. Teams/Webmaster is officially in charge; the mailing list is debian-www and the IRC Channel is #debian-www.

The following is a list of people who, while not having special rights, do have an interest in maintaining the wiki as a whole (organization, conventions, etc.).

• PaulWise

Old content admin:

• AugustinMa, FranklinPiat, madduck, SalokineTerata

(sorted alphabetically)

Wiki Administration

Please see the FAQ before contacting the admins.

Anything that involves feature requests (i.e., wiki upgrades), bugs that aren't completely upstream or issues with the wiki that don't involve the content would be fine for contacting the Wiki Admins.

• debian-www is the best way to contact folks; be aware that this is a public list.

• If you have anything that you need to discuss with the Wiki Admins but you think it should be private, try <wiki@debian.org> instead.

• Several of the Wiki Admins are also normally to be found on #debian-www as well. The Wiki Admins belong to wikiadm LDAP group and you can find their debian.org logins and IRC nicks using this command:

$ ldapsearch -h db.debian.org  -x -b 'dc=debian,dc=org' supplementaryGid=wikiadm ircNick

System Administration

The system administration is handled by the Debian System Administrators (DSA) Team. The Wiki Admins can also coordinate with DSA on stuff they personally have no access to.

Requests should be discussed with the Wiki Admins before being submitted to the System Administrators.
