Thanks to Darren and everyone else involved for working on this
while I was away. I had some ad-hoc spam tools, but it looks like they would have been overwhelmed even if I had time to use them.
If anyone has time to put similar patches into our phpwiki, or upgrade it or port the wikitext to another spam-resistant wiki, let me know and I'll give you the code or set up access (if Darren's OK with another person with shell access).
Thats fine by me
I'd really like to keep open publishing and I'd also like it if we can copy useful and slow-changing contents to /articles/ instead. Any suggestions?
Maybe we could use the IP tools and just put restrictions on the pages that edit the wiki?
If there is anything I can help with let meknow
Darren
