LOL. Sure, as long as you wipe properly afterwards, no problem here. :-)
cool, but what do we do with it?
Well, since people had to come up with anti-spam measures for weblog comments, because of some nitwits which abuse the comment facility of modern weblog engines using automated tools, to raise Google rankings of spam-linked websites, I figure the same will start happening with any light-weight content contribution tool in the upcoming months.
We have seen similar abuse on the Cocoon wiki as well. Rather than completely offload the burden of moderation to a bunch of people, we should come up with an upfront facility for blocking automated abuse. Similar to the facilities found in MSN Hotmail, Paypal and others who use some generated image to validate sign up for their system, having something like this Sapience thing might reduce the moderation burden in the long run.
It's cool for sure, but it might be some good way to make sure only humans edit content, and not a bunch of malevolent bots.
That is a *very good point* and I think you are perfectly right: we should put it into Doco. Any idea on how to do it?
