 When I did the teamwiki "create account" thing, it succeeded, but then
 gave me the following message:

    Your account has been created. One more step is needed before you
    can use this site, your account has to be approved by an OLPC
    admnistrator. Please email your OLPC contact or khaled at laptop.org
    to be granted access to TeamWiki.

 This "send a separate email" step should be eliminated; the wiki script
 should send the email.  Why make the user do another step with no
 additional information content, when that step can be automated with a few
 lines of code in any popular web scripting language?

 KH:
 There is data that need to be specified, which is what namespaces a newly
 registered user needs access to and why they are asking for such access.
 The messages were updated to require such content.
