Good for everything likely not of importance anymore in two days

You can always move interesting conversations to a page with an appropriate title later. It's a wiki ;)

Putting in titles for day-entries helps finding back things easier. New day-entries below this line, please.

I've added a patch (backport from a current 2.5 beta feature, thanks to Janne) that enables captcha, so you might have to select kittens ;). Currently it seems that it does not save your edit even if you identify the captcha corrently, but at least it does not lock you out, I also enabled Akismet again...

It's been very quite since Christoph tightened the wiki access. But since there had already been less useful edits since the release of Creole 1.0, it's hard to say if potential editors find the access too difficult, if everyone finds Creole 1.0 perfect, or if everybody gave up...

Could we have a new irc meeting to get an idea of how Creole is deployed?

I just opened it again. Yes lets have one this week.

Yesterday we had a spambot attack. The attacker used multiple IP's and created hundreds of accounts, and of course spamed alot of pages. It seemed to be a general attack against JSPWiki installations. I don't know yet how to protect against this, other than locking the page down, only allowing edits from accounts I gave edit permissions. I will give every account editor rights, that drops me a note and therefore proofs to me that he is not a stupid script. So if you have something important to say, just drop me a note and I'll give you editor rights.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll open this wiki again as soon as I have a appropriate patch to protect against this stupidity. For now it's more important that everyone can read the stable spec without spam.

It seems to be completely locked if you haven't registered. Previously, I was recognized even if I wasn't authenticated (I think that at the beginning of 2007, I had to authenticate to have my contributions properly attributed); now I'm redirected to the login page until I've entered my password, even before trying to edit anything.

Shouldn't this wiki be read-only for unregistered visitors?

-- YvesPiguet, 2007-Sep-28

Correction: I've tried from another computer (a virtual one actually), and I can read pages. So the problem exists only when my authentification has expired (not important).

Yes, try to view the page from a browser that does not remember you (by cookie), you should be able to view the pages. The strange thing is that as soon as you have logged in, JSPWiki 2.4 requires you to log in, even if one set the policy to give view rights to everybody. If you entered a wrong login, JSPWiki will show you the rejected message, but if you continue, you will be able to view the pages (like expected). This only happens in this current configuration where you grant view rights to all, and edit rights only to users which where granted a special role. This seems to be a bug in JSPWiki.

No problem, that's a minor issue compared to the permanent spam and vandalism threat. Thanks.

-- YvesPiguet, 2007-Oct-2

I'm wondering, maybe it's time to bring up a static "front page" with the spec and general information (one that would be less sketchy), and move the wiki itself behind a link.
