About the wiki

We have configured a mediawiki for the event. Both tools, Drupal and Mediawiki, share the same users so you don't have to create a new account to access the wiki.

There is a new page on the official webpage called "Wiki" with the link to the Mediawiki (the wiki). Please read carefully the instructions related with how to log in this new wiki.

http://www.grancanariadesktopsummit.org/node/242

You won't be able to login directly on the wiki nor create a new account. You will have to login in the website first AND THEN click the link on the "Wiki" page to automatically log in on the wiki. This is due to technical limitations of the Drupal-Mediawiki login module.

We are working to make some small changes to avoid usability problems due to the log in/log out proccess.
