Chris, Would you ever be interested to possibly explore other wiki options beyond PBWiki? Or, alternatively, maybe the PBWiki folks need a hand with anti-wiki-spam measures?
Hopefully I won't drift too far into techical waters, and away from coworking, but there may be some simple to implement anti spam measures that PBWiki could employ, that have worked quite well on other wiki engines, like content banning, open proxy banning, banning IP ranges, pooling spam link content (even if just done among hosted pbwikis, this could create a large shared resource of banned content, banned IP's, etc) I'm interested in talking to PBWiki people about this, if you think they are interested. I've had experience with fighting spam in both totally open (non-login) and more protected wikis. I also see that PBWiki has an API, and maybe some of the solutions that have worked for Perl wikis like OddMuse and UseMod, and Ruby wiki like Ruse, and PHP wikis like Dokuwiki, could work for PbWiki? Just some ideas, anway...back to your regularly scheduled Coworking...
