Hi,
a short status update: It seems that the new Captcha helped, as we
didn't have a single signup of a spam bot since I installed it:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Special:Log/newusers
That being said, we didn't have any single signup at all, so it might
also mean people are totally confused with the new captcha. ;-)
Let's leave it for a while and gather feedback from the users. In case
it doesn't work, manual account creation is always an option. I do
remember an extension where people were asked some details, based on
which the wiki sysops could approve a new account or not.
As for the amount of wiki sysops, we should call out to the local
groups if we were to switch to manual account approval. We have a few
wiki sysops, amongst them very active ones like Sophie and Volker, but
we definitely don't have one per language.

After all of this time, I wonder how many new users are going to
want/need to create an account on the WIKI pages. I created my account
last year, but hardly use it right now. So, it may be that there will be
few sign-ups per months now, except for some new local translation
groups maybe.
As for Captcha, well anything that stops the sign-up bots and spam
creation is good in my eyes, even if it takes some extra work to get an
account set-up.
