I agree.  I'm sorry I haven't done anything about this.  Unfortunately
SF didn't do a very good job with their "automatic transition", and I'm
a complete neophyte when it comes to MediaWiki.

Currently I'm the only MediaWiki admin (by default, not by design :)).

I don't think it's possible to open editing to everyone on MediaWiki
with the way that SF has installed it, based on this ticket:

    https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/3638
    
At a minimum you need an SF account, and then editing permission
needs to be added using the MediaWiki admin interface.

I'm happy to add MediaWiki admin privileges to a couple of motivated
contributors (I just added Holger), who can then in turn add editing
permission to any SF user who requests it.  Please send me your
requests off list.

It would be really great if we could repair (and then improve) the
wiki.
