As it stands, only admin can change the password-protected status of
the pages. Good question though.
An additional precaution could be that I forward the email
notifications to this list so that if I'm not able to jump on a
problem, someone else may be able to.

Unfortunately I haven't recreated the user accounts yet, and their
setup requires that things are going to be different. No more /~simon/
URLs I'm afraid. Likely, you'll be given access to upload your files
to a new address like:
http://www.projectaon.org/en/pdf/misc/
Note that that address doesn't currently exist. I still have to work
out how the permissions work on their system. Dreamhost.com is a
little funny about group permissions in their documentation, but I
think they follow more or less standard UNIX rules.

I know, I know. :) The reason Deathlord is taking a back seat at the
moment is two-fold: 1) renewal for our web hosting was coming due, and
2) I'm going to be out of town this week so working on converting to
the wiki is going to be easier for me than working on Deathlord.
