That's even worse than I imagined. I will do everything I can to
clarify the situation as soon as possible. I removed the
pirate-party.org domain from the wikis and replaced it with "unclear"
and forwarded your mail to our most frequented mailing lists. I will
also try to contact him but when he's not responding to you it's not
more likely that he will respond to my messages.

Beyond that I would rather wait a while how the situation develops. I
don't think we should act overhasty by taking sides now or accepting
both without having spoken to both sites.

Regards
Helmut aka Hoshpak
