There are lots more potential spammers. And spammers may have to be dealt with multiple times, whereas a contributor just needs to be added once. There were approximately 60 edits to that page in 2011 so far, of which at least 37 were spam or despam. That's about 1 valid edit per week for that page. But of course it is up to the Tomcat developers to decide on how they want to manage their Wiki. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
