Even if you decide logins are too much of a restriction, I do hope the security can be cranked up some other way.
The most comfortable would be if the maintainer would get the diffs per mail and, by simply replying in the mailreader, could reject changes.
If we had that, I would volunteer for a maintenance period.
I too.
With the new MediaWiki, it's possible to set up administrative level accounts, with added powers like locking pages, banning user accounts, mass reversion, and so on. With UseModWiki this was sort of possible but it was rather limited. Anyway, when the new system is set up, you guys can get admin accounts to help with spam blocking. However I think if you implement the security measures I posted, spam should pretty much go away entirely (at least, until the spammers evolve a few more levels).
I've stopped 99% of the Scribus Wiki with the SpamBlacklist extension. Since putting it in there has only been one entry.
