Folks, we're not the only ones getting hacked -- WikiSpam is rampant 
among Wikis right now (e.g., 
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiSpam).  This is a problem with 
the medium.  We can require user authentication to edit, but we'll 
dramatically changing the culture of the Squeak Swiki.  We can do that, 
but we'd like to explore other options first.

If you'd like to help, may I remind you that Swiki is an open source 
project?  The source is at http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki  If you 
have an idea for a good solution to WikiSpam, please do implement it 
and share your fix with the Swiki community.  I just did a Google 
search, and there are 260,000 hits on "swiki," so the value/utility of 
fixes to Swiki that help with WikiSpam is pretty darn high -- there are 
lots of people who can use good Swiki fixes!

Thanks!
Mark
