Regarding the missing notification for pending changes in the Approval 
queue, I tried to read the current list via xmlrpclib from a Python 
script. This could be used to automate the process a little further, I 
deleted the first swoop of pages this morning and found it to be a very 
dull task...ideally suited for machines. ;)  (*)
But unfortunately the connection got refused with the message:

   xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: 'This moin wiki does not allow xmlrpc 
method calls.'>

Would it be possible to switch "xmlrpclib" support back on for our Wiki, 
or is this regarded as being too dangerous?

Regards,

Dirk

(*): I don't intend to automate the decision about which pages are going 
into the bin and which not. But actually deleting the page involves a 
number of mouse clicks...and I'd like to get rid of those.
