Re: towards spam-free websites

I am very concerned about that too.

I saw that in some places they changes the email addresses from:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] to:

mymail at apache.org

I can helps since the word ”at” can be every where.

This is a serious threat to open source. We try to
acknowledge contributions by listing their name and address.
Yet that actually does them harm - they will get spammed.
So they may stop contributing, which equates to malaise
for open source.

The Apache websites provide well-structured web pages,
and excellent tools with which to process them. Foiled.
Spammers can harvest us so easily with a Cocoon-based
page scraper.

Cocoon can do something about this. We can get the
stylesheets for our xdocs to not generate any
mailto: links and we can obfuscate the actual addresses.

What do you think?

I think this was the reason why Peter Donald already changed his
mail addresses in Avalonland to a none machine usable form.
