Note that the acl_* attributes set in the +ep2008.py file define the principal administrative privileges for the Wiki +such that the AdminGroup members can more or less change anything. Thus, when +deploying this Wiki, it might be a good idea to edit the AdminGroup page and +to add other administrative users - this would probably be done most +conveniently by just going into the page found in the following directory: + +.../ep2008/wiki/data/pages/AdminGroup/revisions + +The filename of the page is given in the following file: + +.../ep2008/wiki/data/pages/AdminGroup/current + +Be sure to only add existing users - there exists a possibility of people +otherwise creating accounts which would then have undeserved administrative +privileges.
