Re: Spammer on the wiki!!

Thanks for the notice and clean-up, Andrea. I have now blocked these
users. I hesitate to block everyone on the users list that looks like a
spammer before they actually post any spam, because I might mistakenly
include some legitimate users. Unfortunately, requiring confirmation for
account registrations is easier said than done because we can't send
e-mail from the SourceForge web server. For the moment I have disabled
account registration altogether, until we find a better solution. People
who want an account can contact me and I will add them.

I wonder whether it would be a good idea to switch to the
SourceForge-provided MediaWiki now
(http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/pipmak/) instead of trying to
maintain our own outdated installation. When it was introduced, I
originally decided against it for various reasons, but some of them have
been eliminated now, and a reconsideration may be in order. Some
upcoming changes to the Hosted Apps have just been announced (by e-mail
to project admins, it doesn't seem to be on the web anywhere) and I'll
have a closer look when they are implemented in 1-2 weeks. The advantage
would be that the burden of administration is taken off us (me). The
biggest disadvantage I see right now is that we would lose the
Pipmak-specific look.
