Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application wiki page SettingDropDownValues updated by BryanSmith

Are we able to block this username (I know it won't be very effective) from
doing any type of updates?  Perhaps just bit-bucketing them or blacklisting
the IP for a period of time?

  I believe we have, or can have, root access on the server where the site
  is hosted. So we have some options to block IPs at the OS or Apache
 level.

 AFAIK, some ISPs, including Amazon, share IPs among many users, so
 blocking an IP is contentious.


I agree on the IP sharing concerns.  When done, I have seen it happen for a
limited time.  I would still have a potential impact on legitimate edits.


  The application could be patched to ban this username as well.

 Could be done, but then he'd switch.

 I suggesting disabling edits unless the user name is on a list. Then
 there's the chance the abuser would see legit edits and impersonate that
 user...


The suggestions I have seen so far (mine included) are easily
circumvented.  I am not certain how much coding is worth doing to only
raise the bar to such a low level.  If there is something to implement any
of the username suggestions already present in the software, it might be
worth turning on.  Anything requiring additional coding for minimal return,
IMO, is probably not worth the effort.

Just my $0.02.

IMO, It is 'good' to be able to focus on the core mission of the
application.


  Github does allow the wiki to be accessed as a git repo, which provides
  a reasonable exit plan if were to become an unsuitable place to host
  in the future.


++ on this point.  Not having the data locked in, and being able to
transfer the history is, in my mind at least, a good thing.


 OK. I just had another look at that wiki, and it looks good, so I'd say
 just take the decision and switch. We don't need a long discussion about
 it. Not everything has to be Open Source, or Perl. Think OSes,
 compilers, web servers, db servers, email servers, etc etc.


While a cgi-app-branded version of a wiki could be a good thing, I do agree
that lacking other *easily implemented and maintained* alternatives (or
even just the tuits to manage it), that offloading the maintenance of this
to a location where it is part of their core competence is a good thing.

Is there any thought (or even value) to migrating the current data into the
git wiki history?  Given sufficient tuits (and the original data - can be
after the cutover is done), I would be willing to help with submitting a
pull request on this.

I have been starting to migrate some of the 'simpler' pages from
erlbaum.netto github.  Please take a look at the few changes I have
made, as I am
contemplating writing code to start mechanizing some of these changes.  As my

I have documented my thoughts and the steps I am using to to the migration.

Thanks for the input.

Found a workaround / solution.  If you embed the code sample in

```perl
Your code sample here
```

It does a sane thing.  Gee, go figure.  Someone documented this already on
the intertubes (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6235995/markdown-github-syntax-highlighting-of-code-block-as-a-child-of-a-list

Adding to the notes page, scanning pages already converted, and finalizing

 In tandem with a lockdown, would it be possible to get a snapshot of the

 Maybe we could put the old wiki in read-only mode?

 I have not looked into this, but it doesn't seem hard, even if we have
 to hack it. We just have to disable the update feature and post a notice.

 Hello everyone -

 I managed to port an existing CGI app called, Dada Mail
 over to CGI::Application. The reasoning to do this was to
 gain FastCGI support, which was also accomplished. It's
 somewhat of a stopgap solution, as I'd most likely want to
 add PSGI support sooner, rather than later - not sure what
 that looks like, but it may mean migrating away from
 CGI::App and to something else - although I don't see that
 being necessary right at this time.
