... I happened to notice that the top swiki page (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1) was locked with a password other than "squeak" or "viewpoints". I thought we were using one of these for a standard public password that most squeak regulars would know, without needing the admin password. (As far as I know, there has never been a case of someone defacing the swiki who actually knew one of these public passwords... it's always been unlocked pages.) So, I set the top page password to "viewpoints".
It's possible that I made a mistake. I needed to modify this page and at the time the only password I could think of was 'viewpoints' and it didn't seem to be working. I asked for and Jochen gave me the 'special' password which I used to unlock the page and edit it. It may be that I mistakenly locked the page with that special password. Or it may simply be that I did not replace the previously set password. I wasn't in fact sure what it should be.
No problem, Ken. Given the lack of other responses on this topic, I think we should always go with 'viewpoints' as the default password when a swiki page needs to be locked.

Related to this every time I've fixed a defaced page lately I've been locking it with 'viewponts'.
