The wiki server (idris) is shared with a number of other tasks; SVN, 
Lists, Trac.

Over the weekend there were some suspicious looking request (random 
hosts) heavily hitting the wiki hard causing the entire machine to slow 
to a crawl. This affected the code hack weekend in London.... I decided 
to temporarily block access to the heaviest pages.

I will investigate further on Monday and likely remove the blocks then.
