Yes I have been thinking about this too.

Several solutions:

* Integrate typepad antispam rather than Akismet: http://antispam.typepad.com/ 
  (it has a more friendly license)
* Use the system I've used on my blog at http://massol.net to allow  
guest users to enter comments
* Implement a captcha (we have it but make it work)

Is someone interested in working on this? The typepad antispam sounds  
the most promising to me.


Thanks
