hi Andrew

The wiki hosting was offered to us by Andrei Thorp (Garoth in #mypaint IRC)
- techmight.com.  We do have ssh access. 

I have never set up a mediawiki, I think Garoth has done it mostly. But I
did install the "ConfirmEdit" mediawiki extension, and set it up to display
a textual captcha.  When I notice a spambot on the wiki, I change the
captcha question by editing public_html/w/LocalSettings.php.  I only had to
do that two or three times so far, we got almost no wiki spam now.

I send you the access data via private mail in case you want to look into
the problem yourself.  I CC Garoth since he might know better what to do.
