There's not really an official leader or meetings.  I know some people 
have been stepping more lately (like ricky) but the team itself is still 
forming.

I'll go ahead and enable them then.  It turns out this was not our 
issue.  Something happened on thrusday night (I'm still investigating).

Exactly what is it you're needing to do?  Categories are around now but 
may not be forever.

Unfortunately this is all in upstreams hands.  The fact is Moin was a 
poor choice for us.  And while the developers have been really great and 
helpful in solving a lot of our issues (and we've had them) there are 
still core and fundamental design choices that are just eating us.  I 
actually had to delete thousands of users so that page saves would go 
from 1m30s to 30s.  Plone will never replace the wiki,  There is a 
ticket open to replace the wiki:

but thats going to be a long ways away.  Long story short... don't rely 
on the wiki unless you absolutely have to, lesson learned ;-)
