http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha :) But Google Wiki does not seem to provide it. On top of it, i could not quite figure out how to track editing history with google wiki. Maybe this is available through svn, much like any revision control? If so, it would not be very user-friendly. It seems that a wikipedia model is needed, with discussion pages and change history. Otherwise, the idea seems to be a very good one. -d
