             ^^^^^
     salaam.homeunix.com

David must have "carlos" as some sort of alias on his machine, 
because he keeps using it - either that, or he has memorized and can 
easily remember "/twiki/bin/view/Gnumed" but can't remember 
salaam.homeunix.com which is kind of amusing :-) - maybe just means 
he knows Twiki so well, which is good for us!

So it should be
        http://salaam.homeunix.com/twiki/bin/view/Gnumed

There is a problem now (maybe a small bug as a function of the 
registration module?). When you first reach the above URL (and, I 
suspect, any wiki page) you are forced to enter your (own/user) 
WikiName. The modal dialog box says
        "Cancel to register if you do not have one." on salaam.homeunix.com.

You have to press Cancel twice in order to actually cancel, at which 
point the desired browser page will be rendered. It will be very 
jarring for anyone trying to reach the site. I have seen this 
behaviour at other sites and dunno how it is triggered. We had some 
discussion of permitting public "reads" while requiring logged-in 
edits but I don't know if there is any connection. This behaviour was 
absent before David reinstalled TWiki, don't know if it is a bug in 
the newest "base/default" installation or if it only began after some 
configurational change had been made.

After getting through it however, I was able to register OK (I like 
the "NOSPAM" incorporated into the email address listings) and after 
I logged in, the annoying dialog box went away.
