unavoidable on a wiki. not very important.
however, reading more, it seems this is not a wiki problem, but a novell's server problem. odd for Novell :-( jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

When I opened my computer, the defacing was already suppressed (I could see it later on an alternate web site), so I was thinking it was a wiki problem. Being free write a wiki is sometimes defaced. it's the main drawback of the freedom. that is why I said it's not very important. here, in fact it's a Novell problem.

The message I see now, does that have to do with the hack as well? I see: Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server.
