My point was: if someone posts a mail with pointers to warez or porn or spam - it will get through and will be archived in the mailing list archives. The PMC ( afaik ) can't take it back or remove it from the archives ( maybe our archives - but I doubt we do that ). The fact that we read the spam or just delete it ( which is what I do ) is unrelated. The wiki has the benefit (?) that bad content can be removed - by _anyone_ who happens to read it ( no only the PMC or committers ). Fact is that wiki allows _more_ policing than mailing lists ( anyone who reads a page can modify it and remove offending content - not just the small number of PMC members ). As I said, I have no problem with having more structure in Wiki - like separate wikis for each PMC and some conventions on layout that would allow easy navigation and tracking. The solution I would like: a hiearchical layout on the wiki, with the first levels restricted to PMC and projects. Each topic in wiki will have to follow a pattern like: JakartaTomcatMyTomcatTopic. If a topic doesn't start with one of the approved prefixes - it will be rejected. We just need a map of prefixes to mailing lists, and each project ( or subproject ) should get a prefix if it provies a list. ( JakartaTomcat -> tomcat-dev@, etc ).
