[p2p-research] Login to Wiki, Upgrade your account

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Alex,

I tend to check wiki entries twice a day,

with the exception of your own functional entries, because for the moment
I'm overwhelmed, and not because they are not important, and also because
having followed quite a few, I know most of them are sound,

extra patrollers would defiinitely be a plus, especially when I'm travelling
which will be the case next week,

Michel
