I think we should answer his comment in public so people can learn they do 
can contribute to the wiki and improve the project.

I feel sad if people think they cannot contribute, or that their 
contribution would not be enough to get rights. In any case we should 
clear up that confusion for everyone that reads the forum message in the 
future.

And make it easier for people to contribute.

PS Today I added 2 small comments in the Pidgin FAQ to explain how people 
can add environment variables to Windows XP, I just registered and edited 
the FAQ because the FAQ did not specify *how* to set PIDGINLANG on 
Windows. It was a 60sec job.
