There are quite efficient ways to catch automated spam, the real problem in a wiki is, imho, bad human-generated content. This can only be "filtered" by humans, so we have to team up to maintain the wiki. This can get quite a huge task, depending on the number of contributors. Nevertheless, I'm willing to form such a team and move the documentation off to a extra wiki. I'd not use the trac wiki but rather install some "real" wiki software with a speperate namespace and more features. I think a _good_ wiki is doable and viable, if we do it right right from the beginning. And as soon as we notice we get too much foobar in the wiki, we just make it read-only (except approved logged-in users) until we catched up with our work. We can still extract a pdf/tex/whatever handbook-like document out of reviewed and tagged wiki pages with every stable release if this is an imperative requirement. Suggestions, fair comment and refusal welcome.
