Yeah, the only reason I mentioned that is that freedesktop new account creation can be _very_ slow :) > I'm happy to do the leg work on the commit hooks, if that would help. At this point I'm mainly wondering what machine will need ssh access to which other machine (assuming we have a git server on one side and a webserver on the other). I'd rather non of them can ssh on the other side.

With the spam accounts destroyed, and new account creation having to be done manually by an admin (instead of being able to do it from the web), I think we should be good with respect to spam.

Re: [Spice-devel] Wiki cleanup
If the idea seems sensible, then I'd propose that we work on the Wiki until we feel it stands mostly on it's own, and when we hit that point, we shift the main pages to reflect that. The website/wiki content needs some reorganization for sure, and the manual editing of the static website content needs to be improved. The next question is if we want to achieve that with a wiki, or by switching to a different 'CMS'. The wiki has the big advantage of being already there. I think Marc-André favoured http://jekyllrb.com for the static website part. Yeah, I worked a bit with Jekyll, and it was nice. I also find plain html + a nice css (e.g. bootstrap) surprisingly pleasant to work with. If we do keep a static component, I'd suggest we establish a git tree with git hooks that auto update (ala Github sites). And have patches and/or commit access to that tree be welcome.

Re: [Spice-devel] Wiki cleanup
Hey guys, Now that the Wiki is in theory usable, I would like to propose that we shift the bulk of spice-space.org content to the Wiki. I'm willing to do a bit of work in the Wiki to help tidy some of this up, but I think that would only be satisfying if I felt that it was actually improving the user experience. Right now, I find the Wiki and the main page to be a strange sort of mirror, with both places having similar nav and similarly out of date information. If the idea seems sensible, then I'd propose that we work on the Wiki until we feel it stands mostly on it's own, and when we hit that point, we shift the main pages to reflect that. Thoughts?

[Spice-devel] Wiki cleanup
Hey, Our wiki has been ridden with spam for a while, I've spent some time cleaning that up (removing thousands of spam users and pages). I've tried to be careful not to remove non-spam users/pages but I'm fairly sure I've made a few mistakes there, I apologize for that. Please let me know if your account has been removed, or if some pages have gone missing. You are most likely to be impacted if you created your account or new content in the last year or so. I made a backup of the wiki database beforehand, so it should be possible to get back missing data... Last but not least, to avoid getting more spam in the future, I've disabled creation of new users in the wiki. If you want a wiki account, you will have to email the spice-devel mailing list, or Uri or me if you want to keep it private. Sorry for any inconvenience, but the wiki is much cleaner now!
