Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] [Wireshark-dev] The Wireshark wiki has a new home

Any thoughts about making the old wiki read-only?

The roadmap on the new wiki has a typo:
Will it be 3.2.7 in September?

As far as I know, accounts registered directly on gitlab.com and ones registered with an external account behave the same. I registered mine directly, but once signed in I have the option of linking external accounts on the account profile page (https://gitlab.com/profile/account). I updated step 1 to note that you can register using an external account.

I've made a few test edits and it seems to be working OK. If you'd like to try it out, please send me you GitLab account name directly. We'll want to switch back to public requests as described at https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/wikis/HowToEdit, but there's no sense in spamming -dev. I plan on making the editor-wiki repository private at some point in order to avoid linking to it instead of the main wiki.
