[pydotorg-www] Wiki news?

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Related to this:

Since I don't think we can recover more data from the available caches,
it may be a good time to redirect the wiki.python.org URL
to a page explaining the problem - perhaps just the blog post at:

http://pyfound.blogspot.de/2013/01/wikipythonorg-compromised.html

Could someone take care to this ?

Thanks.
