Contributing to the wiki rather expensive

[PeFro]

Hi,

I intended to update the documentation for Electrum which is apparently hosted on the Bitcoin Wiki.
Currently there is an obligatory bitcoin payment in order to get editing privileges.
Not sure when it was set but currently this amounts to 8$ which seems a little high if the goal is not to discourage volunteers.
Any chance this could be adjusted to something more reasonable (and maybe pegging it to the usd/btc exchange rate for the future)?

I'm in the same situation. I wanted to correct a few typos but I couldn't create an account because of this.

You might want to post this on the electrum sub-forum for an explanation.
