It is not. I just mentioned both problems in the same mail. > Furthermore, it is my experience that a confirmation request by e-mail > does not stop spam-bots from registering and posting. Can't we just > restrict usage to SF users only? True, it does not. That is why I (temporarily, see below) disabled the user self-registration. Sdcc wiki doesn't know anything about SF users: it is not connected to SF users database. But it is possible to use OpenID. > Or is the mediaWiki only an intermediate > step? I hope that mediawiki is the final step and that it will last for more time then previous attempts: trac, user mod wiki, wikispaces, wiki wiki tavi and only god knows what else we used in the past :-( > I find it very hard to find good information about the upgrade on SF.

I don't intend to use the Allura wiki at all and stay with mediawiki. Reason: I don't intent to make an other wiki migration when sf changes it's mind! > And since the mediaWiki is susceptible to spamming we handle the > registration manually right now? Currently yes, but there are other options: using OpenID, captcha, ... Now I'm waiting for the sf support response about mailing, then (or in mean time) I'll take a look for anti-spam options. > Please tell me if I'm totally wrong.
