I think I fundamentally misunderstand how the wiki works,
working with
"http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Acme_wiki_instructions/index.html"
I'm finding the system less intuitive then author intended :-(

Basically I "srv net!plan9.bell-labs.com!wiki wiki /mnt/wiki" and then
"acme /mnt/wiki/" to find the sandbox "/mnt/wiki/sandbox/index.html" with
permissions denied,
So I'm thinking "obviously this is database driven like php and alike" so
I'm trying to write stuff to the index.txt, again no luck :-(
next is the sub-directories, again "permission denied"...
Maybe its a question of overwriting other people work ? no new file
allowed to be put...

I know its probably something very basic in not just how the wiki works
but probably how plan 9 works, unfortunately I just can't figure it out,
I'm guessing I'm simply trying to edit the wrong files, or I need to auth
for read/write access, but I just don't get it...

P.S: Though I understand that limiting access to editing using plan 9
itself rather then having an edit button is useful in reducing vandalism,
I still prefer having an edit button in a browser, but I guess a browser
will be a good start ;-)
