I agree that the wiki needs something to happen to make it stand up
to the massive amount of spam it gets. I wonder if we should look at
what Jim Weirich is working on for the rubygarden wiki? He has written a
new wiki engine for it called ruse with a major focus on keeping it spam
free. Details here:

Thoughts?
Thanks, Ezra - that's very interesting. His screencast of what used to
be involved in despamming the rubygarden wiki is similar to the process
I and others go through with the Rails wiki.
I see that Ruse is now in live use for rubygarden. The ability to take
anonymous edits that then require approval, and the way in which a new
registered user goes through a probationary period before becoming
trusted, are both good, and the tarpit is a brilliant idea.
There's a summary of the antispam features here:
http://wikis.onestepback.org/Ruse/page/show/AntiSpamMeasures
The main wiki page for Ruse is here:
http://wikis.onestepback.org/Ruse/page/show/RuseWiki
Most interestingly, it's a Rails application.
I don't know yet if the markup is pluggable - I would hope so.
regards
Justin
