It would be good if something was done, but if nothing can be then I think a spam-filled wiki is still better than no wiki. > 2) Force everyone who wishes to contribute to the wiki to register via a > human.

It is a shame that it will be very hard to combine mailing list auth with wiki auth (mailing list being run by lug.org.uk and there being little access to its configuration being the major stumbling block to that). Still, one more password is much more acceptable than spam-filled pages or no wiki at all. I would ask that not too many features are hidden for unauthenticated browsers. On some CMSes/wikis I have a hard time using them because a lot of features are not present when not logged in. e.g. some pages don't appear editable at all until you log in, but this is not obvious in some cases. I too have in the past been put off writing wiki pages due to the edits not being accepted by the anti-spam code. I didn't realise this code had gone. > 3) Turn the web site back into a static web site, which will make it very > much > harder to others to contribute, but again will keep the spam to zero.
