[VoIP] Office code assignment wiki hacked

[Ian Jolly]

Might it be an idea such that only 'registered' CNET members can get access 
to the WiKi ?

After all those interested enough will have 'registered' so we should have 
some idea as to who they are. In the UK all the CNET members except one are 
know to at least one of the main CNET users.  On this side of the 'pond', 
some of us had thought that it was rather open to abuse.

Shouldn't be too difficult to link the ckts.info password should it?
