Speaking of the OOo/AOO Wiki community the Wiki has been a target of attacks by Spambots or Annoybots for a long time. ... Whatever is decided to become the new Wiki I hope it is more resilient against these attacks as we are a high profile target getting plenty of page hits on the Wiki and there are also some people that really want our project to die and put some effort into it.
I don't really know whether spam attacks are made to deliberately damage this project or just to spam, but it's simpler to believe they are just spam.
What is interesting/amusing is that I noticed a consistent pattern of spam registrations in the OpenOffice and LibreOffice wikis over the last weeks (i.e., the same extremely long username being registered on one wiki and, just seconds/minutes later, on the other one).
So at least the two projects have common spammers! Now it would be really nice to cooperate on fighting spam, since this just involves good will and common sense and it does not interfere with licenses, contributor agreements, corporate interests...
