John is one of the Linux Foundation staff members that are responsible for the system administration of wiki.kernel.org (and kernel.org, and bugzilla.kernel.org, etc.) They are *not* responsible for the contents of the *.wiki.kernel.org; someone from the project has to be the wiki maintainer. (Note: the *.wiki.kernel.org infrastructure was originally set up at my request, and the first such hosted wiki was ext4.wiki.kernel.org; the second was rt.wiki.kernel.org, for which I was also the primary wiki administrator initially. I'm confident the policy on this hasn't changed since those early days because LF sysadmins (e.g., John and Konstantin) do *not* have time to police the various wikis for spam....) - Ted
