[IMC-Tech] root access to groogroo

[dan blah]

media wiki does this also (the one already installed).  i will work on
the ssl server as well as upgrading apache and hopefully fixing our
problem.  i was wondering what your uid was stephane so that i could
give you perms to the wiki directory.  this way you can install/manage
wiki extenstions that you needed
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MediaWiki_extensions).  with
extensions there are a whole list of security things that could be
implemented.
