I believe that checking for internal consistency within a package was
also on Michal's TODO list at some point.

As for the IndexMeasurementIdeas page, it's supposed to be writable if
you log in, and there's a generic login on that wiki (user guest,
password gast) -- just to protect against automated spammers. But for
some reason even user guest can't edit that page. I'll look into why
and hopefully fix it.
