[pydotorg-www] Account on wiki.python.org

[M.-A. Lemburg]

This is the usual problem we're facing with the wiki VM: it's overloaded
with bots or SEO crowds of people trying to create accounts.

There isn't much we can do, since the traffic doesn't originate
from just a few IP addresses.

At some point, I think we will have to make the VM get more CPU power
and esp. I/O bandwidth to better handle the load.

For now, I can only recommend to try at a later time.

Thanks.
