[Pythonmac-SIG] Any decision about the pythonmac.org wiki?

2007-02-11 Thread skip
Bob et al,

A few of us continue to try and push back the teeming hordes of spammers who
are wreaking havoc on the MacPython wiki.  Are you back in the US somewhere?
Any thoughts on a longer term solution?

One thought I had was simply to migrate the current state (after checking
and eliminating spam) to the regular Python wiki, renaming all pages to live
under http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython in the process.  The advantage
of that is that maintenance of the wiki software proper is lifted off your
shoulders.  The disadvantage is a loss of some control (e.g. no fancy
snake/apple icon). Would that work for you?

I'm just waiting for someone to volunteer to do whatever it is that is
to be done :) Moving it to python.org would probably be the option
that requires least maintenance... I could set up a rewrite rule once
it's moved.

I have a simple script to slurp the raw pages.  Can you stick in a redirect
or rewrite on your web server that maps all URLs which contain action=edit
to a static page that says the wiki is frozen or is undergoing maintenance?
I'll slurp, clean and map URLs as necessary, then install the result in the
proper place.

Thx,
