I was about to answer the same, but then I saw that a user has to have a first approved post. Micha had never posted before, so it is his first kind-of-dummy-post.

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
The first post in this topic explains what to do. The green text edit explains about the first post approval requirement before a PM can be sent. This is an anti-spam measure. We delete all or most of the spam before it can be seen here, and yes, we delete a lot of spam.sileONfreeCAD wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:42 am I´d like to send PM post but i don´t understand where I need to publish post to get a wiki account.

Generally FreeCAD lives here on these forums.
All other platforms like Gitter etc. are little more than attention dilution. If they work for you, fine, but if you want your post to be reliably noticed, I suggest you stick to these forums.
Personally I for one, ignore all other platforms as I don't have enough time to properly keep up with just this forum, the last thing I need is my attention diluted to some other pointless platform. Having said that there are times where a conversation may be only needed between a limited number of people, e.g. perhaps two developers working together on something specific. In those cases IRC or something else might suit them better.
I have used IRC only twice in the last decade, when we were hosted on SourceForge and the forum went down and I needed to contact Yorik.
Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
I already created your wiki account based on the email you gave me through Gitter. Unfortunately, you didn't write your email correctly, using a dash in the address when there shouldn't be one, and I didn't see it at the time.sileONfreeCAD wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:42 am I´d like to send PM post but i don´t understand where I need to publish post to get a wiki account.

So you have a wiki account, but it's inaccessible, because it does not seem possible to change the email address for an account by an admin.
EDIT: I hate doing sloppy stuff like this, but I didn't see any other choice. I created a new account, this time with the valid email. You should have received an email by now.
Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
And that's what I repeat time and again when I see people complaining on IRC/Gitter about the lack of help. Yet we don't see them here, go figure.
I hate IRC, it's a dinosaur from the last century. I only monitor the Gitter channel, it's got a bridge with the #freecad IRC channel. It just sucks slightly less than IRC, but both are utterly unsuited to providing efficient FreeCAD help IMO.

Obligatory first post to be allowed to req for wiki editing.
Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
Hi aoeui, welcome to FreeCAD. You come at the right moment. There is help needed to get the 0.17 documentation ready.
For other First Time Posters:
It is easier to approve a first time post if you elaborate what you want to do in the wiki - even if you start with correcting typos.

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
Hi,
I'm posting here, per the "How to get wiki editing permissions" instructions...
I'm a native English speaker, and have decided on using FreeCAD for some DIY "cut plastic milk jug with scissors, and glue pieces together" projects. I hope I can contribute some minor tidying-up edits to the wiki, at least while I'm starting out.
Thanks,
ml_freecad

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
I would like to get wiki editing permission.
I'm starting to use FreeCAD and use the wiki as a source of information about the scripting.
thanks
