Homebrew PCBs

My first idea was to tie it into the members list on Yahoo, but there isn't an 
easy way to tie the two together. The only way I could think of doing it would 
be to manually check each new user against Yahoo, which seems like a lot of work.

While I have no problem -- in principle -- of granting Wiki admin access to 
moderators/admins on the mailing list, most of the stuff you get access to as 
a Wiki admin is internal configuration data and settings. The whole "anyone 
can edit" concept of a wiki means that removing spam is something any user can 
do (via the edit option). I could add a "Moderators" group and just grant 
access to the user admin side of things, but I need to have a read of the 
TikiWiki documentation to find out how to do that.

Is there a full list of Homebrew_PCBs moderators/admins around anywhere? I 
can't see anything obvious on the group homepage.

Thanks -- much appreciated.
