I looked into the anti-spam features of Wikibooks, and they basically do the basics: blacklists for abusers and easy rollbacks. So the top 2% of spammers/vandalizers will be blocked, and it will be easy for the admins to roll back the problems created by the outher 98%.
Wikibooks sounds good. I wonder if it would be worth looking for a volunteer to occasionally take a snapshot of the wiki as an emergency backup. Presumably wget or similar would be adequate, or maybe there is an easy way to get the mediawiki source. Such a backup might be useful in a few weeks, and then perhaps monthly. John
