We've been seeing the same development on the Jython wiki. I guess they just realized that the Python wiki will likely get them even more Google juice: http://wiki.python.org/jython/RecentChanges Unfortunately, the wiki spam appears to from real humans, so textchas don't really help much. I've also checked IP ranges, but it doesn't help either. Of course, ideas as welcome :-) We may end up having to require people to take some extra step in order to open an account on the wikis. Unfortunately, that makes it harder for non-spam wiki editors to sign up as well. I can add new textchas, if you like. Please send them directly to me. Alternatively, it'd probably be a good idea to get you access to the wiki VM, so you can edit them directly. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 18 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
