I believe the spam is coming only from users who are not identified as 
developers (committers). Therefore, I’ve re-enabled WIKI_CREATE and WIKI_MODIFY 
permissions to the trac ‘developer’ group. 
This will keep the wiki locked down to those with committer access, and not be 
as open as we would prefer. Moving forward, we should decide which mechanism 
we’d like to use to help prevent spam.
