User:Rev 22/shell access

This is a prospective article about the management of Anarchopedia. If possible, please take a part in its composition.

Shell access is used for mantaineance of the wiki software and databases. Anarchopedia is an experiment in Anarchy so it is important to make the access and the process for obtaining it as open as technically possible. The fact that wiki software relies on a central server is intrinsically unfit for direct-democratic management, but we are bound to use this model until a different software is available.
