Folks,

The Trac Spammers have found our Trac instances and are actively spamming
those that allow anonymous ticket creation and modification.  For example
this recent spam on the Mapbender trac instance:

Changes (by anonymous):

 * cc: [email protected] (removed)
 * cc: None (added)
  * component:  core => print
  * summary:  Titled GUIs (new zebra) => None
  * version:  2.4.1 => 2.1
  * milestone:  => Support usage of Styled Layer Descriptors (SLD)
  * keywords:  login, gui list => None

 }}}

Beyond the fact that our google karma is being redirected to serve
nefarious ends, there is also random damage being done to legitimate
trac tickets.

For the time being I have disabled anonymous ticket creation and
modification.  Anyone wanting to submit or modify a ticket will now
need to login with an OSGeo userid.  If this is contrary to the wishes
of the Mapbender PSC I (or Astrid or Christoph) can revert this change.

Best regards,
--
