Hi Janne,

JSPWiki is great, though I believe it's too easy to join and
update. I am
currently modifying my Wiki such that new users have to be
validated before they
get to modify the Wiki. 

The only validation I can currently manage is me manually
entering new users
into either a NewEditors group (having "comment")
or a TrustedEditors group
(having "edit"). 

I plan to upgrade with work I did previously having seen it
almost every where
else including here, ie. forced to enter a valid email, and
then reply to an
automated email, then automatically getting into the
NewEditors group (ie.
"comment" only). Entering a garbled code would
also help. 

Sufficient accepted suitable comments then allow progression
to the
TrustedEditors group, this could also be automated.

Regards,
Geoff

If this could be done in a relatively modular way, that
would be great.

In addition, if someone could work on a "restore this
version of an  
attachment" -feature, that would be very good.  I
sorely need it...
