Hi John, I am helping the document foundation with spam issues, and they report a drastic drop of registrations with questy which is really good. I am currently working on being able to have localized questions for the said project. I am not sure how to exactly answer your question though.
My wiki though public does not accept registrations at all. I am the only one with an account. On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 10:16 PM, John W. Foster <jfoster81...@gmail.com>wrote: > Wow.
