Recently the Haskell Wiki went from anonymous edits to logged-in edits because of the tremendous amount of wikispam, so I agree with this. On the good side, it's easy to create an account. On the bad side, at some point spambots will notice this too. Fermat's Last Margin was originally planned to annotate images attached to wiki pages. Someone on #haskell suggested using SVG instead, and someone else showed me that pstoedit can produce SVG from pdf and ps files. So, generalized markup annotation might be a good approach. Since Fermat's Last Margin is just a darcs-backed wiki, that might be simpler. If the ghc-docs were viewable and editable in a wiki format, and the changes were saved to a darcs repo, then the maintainers could just pull the changes they like, and flush useless changes like spam. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - http://www.ScannedInAvian.com/ - Sockmonster once said: You could switch out the unicycles for badgers, and the game would be the same. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
