It is very likely to be targeted by semi clever spam bots. I administrate a couple of wikis. Plain, anonymous write accesss had to be disabled because they caught spam bots trying to distribute their spew after a few weeks. Captchas work well for edits works as an antidot. But they are a hassle to legitimate users, too. The only site I know, that manage to get away with open write access to anyone and anything are those with a massive amount of users. Most significantly: the projects run by wikimedia (wikipedia, wikibooks, wikisource, wikicommons, ...). This is one of the arguments in favor of wikibooks: The social/technical environment is already there, well tested and found to be working. > I think wikimedia keeps a history so it may be trivial to restore an This is part of the wiki concept. Consequently, virtually all wiki software stores versions and allows for reverts. This includes dokuwiki, which is behind the screens of gpleda.org. ---<)kaimartin(>---- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de -----> not happy with moderation of geda-user mailinglist _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
