<BR>> Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2007 17:11:51 +0200<BR>> From: alexandre.delattre@enst-bretagne.fr<BR>> To: pythonce@python.org<BR>> Subject: [PythonCE] Spam on the wiki, it happened again :(<BR>> <BR>> Hi,<BR>> <BR>> Once again the wiki was spammed and it's the 3rd time in less than a week :(<BR>> I'll clean the mess for now, but I'm beginning to feel it's useless <BR>> until there is a stronger anti-spam system somehow.<BR>> <BR>> Luke, what is your opinion ?<BR>> <BR>> I'd like to help but my knowledge of php is really basic and you must <BR>> first authorize me to do server side modifications.<BR>
<BR>
I think the "captcha" plug-in would be the best option, but I don't know any PHP either. What is your SourceForge user name, so I can add you as a developer?<BR>
<BR>
> Another possibility would be to move the wiki to the MoinMoin engine, <BR>> I've read there's an anti-spam plug-in called HoneyPot that don't use <BR>> captchas (useful for blind people). Don't know if it's efficient, but <BR>> I've already played with MoinMoin and found it really great.<BR><BR>
I vaguely remember that I looked at that wiki software when I created the wiki, but the main problem was that it uses files to store data, which is not feasible on SourceForge. Any wiki that we use needs to store data in a MySQL database.<BR>
<BR>> Please, I'd like to hear what you think the best to do.<BR>> <BR>> With regards,<BR>> Alexandre.<BR>> <BR>> PS<BR>> <BR>> I've came with an (unrelated) idea that would benefit the PythonCE <BR>> community: it is to have a common repository for PythonCE related <BR>> stuff (scripts, tools, ports, extension binaries, ...), it could be a <BR>> simple ftp at first or a website like the official Python CheeseShop. <BR>> If someone has a bit of bandwidth to share or suggestions, they are <BR>> all welcome ;)<BR><BR>
Is it something we could put on pythonce.sourceforge.net ?<BR>
