I think there was a discussion a while back about the apparent vandalism of the swiki and whether access controls should be implemented.  Off the top of my head I think it was decided that the clean-up of this activity was fairly simple and any imposed access control wouldn't help the use of the swiki by the community.

I've increasingly noticed odd picture additions to the swiki and I have removed the reference to these if they obviously haven't looked Squeak related.  The files are still, I assume, sitting in the upload area - I wasn't sure what to do with them.  I figured that this was a form of graffiti and nothing more.
