If it comes to that, I can offer up a more secure wiki environment.

I just checked the Xastir wiki and find that a number of pages have been
clobbered today.
The pages modified were:
Page: Time: Who:
Downloads 10:56 ZyzZrt
HowTo:Contributing 10:45 Wm1Bsk
HowTo:Ubuntu 6.10 LiveCD; 09:35 Uf9Vv1
HowTo:DBFAWK; 00:20 VgbHlt
Three of these edits removed almost the entire contents of the page (
the HowTo:Ubuntu 6.10 LiveCD change and the Downloads change) and the third
simply made the contents subtly incorrect.
Since none of these users are valid call signs, I'm guessing this was a
hit-and-run vandalism, but we're gonna have to watch the Wiki to see if anything
else like that happens again.
I'm in the process of trying to retrieve the original contents. It's
not that difficult, but it's an annoyance.
It would be nice if there were an "undo previous revision" feature, but
there does not appear to be one. If this sort of thing becomes common,
we might have to start looking for a way to secure the Wiki against unfettered
abuse like this.
