Hi All, As some of you may have noticed, the Ferret Wiki has been getting spammed like crazy. And I haven''t been able to do anything about it because I just don''t have the time. I''m getting pretty close to releasing 0.10.0 which has been the major draw on my time for the last couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this soon. I was wondering if any of you web app experts out there could give me some advice. The two options I''m considering are sticking with TRAC and forcing registration to add/edit pages or tickets. The other option I''m considering is moving bug tracking to RubyForge and using a different Wiki for the website. Hopefully Ruse will be released soon. Any thoughts anyone? Dave
Yes. http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SpamFilter. I never tried it. But I''d be happy to help with more than just the suggestion if needed.

My vote is to stick with Trac. I haven''t used the SpamFilter plugin, but it looks promising.

Hopefully Ruse will be released soon.The trac spam filter plugin works pretty well, a few simple Regexes can keep out 99% of the spam. Andreas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Did you manage to find the source of > the occasional Index#search segfaults?Hi Andreas, A lot of the core has been rewritten so I haven''t been fixing bugs like this. It may still be there or there could be new problems. One of the reasons for doing the rewrite was to make it easier to bind the Ruby and C code and hence make it easier to find these bugs.> > which has been the major draw on my time for the last > > couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this > > soon.

I installed it into the acts_as_ferret Trac 2 weeks ago, and we''ve had no spam since then :-) Only thing I had to do (besides upgrading trac and installing the plugin) was to register for an akismet API key.
