wiki spam

Spam on the wiki is ramping up again.  FWIW, I'm stopping
about 30
attempts a day with anti-vandal scripts.  Just letting you
know that I
know about it and am working on it.

Hmm.. are we using captchas for registration?
Captchas + registered user only edits will eliminate most of
the bots, right?

I understand that anonymous edits facilitate updating the
wiki, but I don't 
think that they ease up administration.

If you're going to have captchas, ideally you'd allow
anonymous edits  
with captchas.
