Because I didn't follow this completely,
I could be wrong that there is no code change needed.

And about the documenting part. This text

   A wiki  is usually a web application which allows people to add,
   modify, or delete content in a collaboration with others. Text is
   usually written using a simplified markup language or a rich-text
   editor. While a wiki is a type of content management system, it differs
   from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created
   without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit
   structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of
   the users

is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

The Syslinux wiki is at
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project


It is been a while ago that I got a syslinux wiki account.
So I don't know how hard it is to get one these days.
My message is that getting a syslinux wiki account is possible.
And if the account creation process is broken, please tell.


Something else:
I agree with the majority that some one else should do it
and my kudos go to the minority that actually do.
