I've found a few pages with errors but I'm now unable to edit them, seemingly forever. Please reconsider this. Neither of the two methods you mention actually stop spam being posted. Humans register and then post the spam. I'm sure that a few persons could have write access, and that the wiki owner could consider your request. Well, it's been over two months and the wiki is still read-only. I was under the impression this was supposed to be temporary; when will this be fixed? I often find incorrect information in wiki articles and I'm all-too-frequently frustrated by the fact that I can't fix it.

Re: OpenMoko wiki needs to be set to read-only due to spam
true, but there are a lot of GTA02 users and there is stuff on the wiki which is important to GTA02 and GTA04. I wouldn't mind, if it was hosted at gta04.org but if I remember correctly gta04.org was only supposed to contain information on openphoenux robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I am not sure if it is possible to copy the MediaWiki from wiki.openmoko.org to openphoenux.org (is there read access to the database? does it break links?). And an important question is to find a handful of volunteers to moderate and clean it up.

Re: OpenMoko wiki needs to be set to read-only due to spam
if the wiki can indeed be transferred, maybe you can do an official posting on who would like to apply for write access. I would certainly like to tidy up a couple of pages and add more recent information, but reading the gmane list there are many others willing to do so as well. br robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Making the wiki read-only is a stop-gap measure until some anti-spam stuff can be setup and all the spam pages removed by myself or Harald. I was marking the pages as spam puting them for speedy deletion and stoped doing it to create a Perl bot so I can automate the process (lasty it were near a 100 pages daily). I spend some days geting data and training classifiers and geting some vacation for Hallowen (in a place with bad GSM coverage) and after it linuxcon and elce in Barcelona my home town and preparing a Perl course (held the last saturday) with the local mongers had wasted my free time to read the list. The bot is not ready but I have the title off all the pages with some of them clasified to be used as traning or test sets. You can count with my help (be it data or write acces of any kind). ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

How can I get a database dump of the wiki so I can clone it? What I'd really like to be able to do is run a read-write fork/clone of the mirror, and have the backend database be files in mercurial or git, and then we can have an editable version that I can experiment with OpenID auth with, and possibly have an easy way to merge 'patches' back to the read-only main site. This probably requires more patching to the mediawiki software than I want to think about. I'd also like to be able to put the contents of the OpenMoko wiki on a Wikireader, and having the DB would make this a bit easier. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
