Okay, enough with spam already. I wanted to clone Rails Wiki, but it doesn''t have this "export" feature. Here''s my plan: 1. Get an export of current Rails Wiki (with all revisions, so we can rollback). 2. Install MediaWiki 3. (the hardest part) convert all Rails Wiki pages to MediaWiki 4. If necessary, redirect/replace wiki.rubyonrails.* to the new site/server/whatever I''ll do all of the above steps if I can get access to Rails Wiki''s current i2''s database. wget/spider-ing the current wiki isn''t really a solution. But I''ll do that if nobody helps me. But I hope somebody does. Please, to the maintainer of the wiki, send me the wiki database or give me some shell access to that server. Then rest assured, wait several days or weeks. :-) Thank you. -- Hendy Irawan Web: http://hendy.gauldong.net Mobile: +62 856 24889899 Yahoo Messenger: ceefour666 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ceefour --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You''re kidding right? What about the fact that Rails wiki is in Rails? I don''t see any way how the community would allow a php wiki.

Re: Rails Wiki spam problem with solution
Hrm, interesting thought. I''m all for a better solution, whether using rails or not. I think you should use the best tool for the job. As it is right now, the wiki is pretty much unusable.

Besides, if you switch wiki engines to something that doesn''t support textile, noone will want to use it. The wiki syntax that stuff like wikipedia uses is horrible. Just search this list for "wiki spam" and I''m sure you''ll find the folks who are working on things right now... - Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What about hooking in the Akismet filter into the current Wiki? Mephisto uses it and it has been very effective for me at blocking spam.

Although it requires some code. And (unfortunately) it seems not everybody wants to code for the Rails wiki (or even manage). (especially unpaid?) Something relatively "trivial" that doesn''t require heavy implementation of login system or anything is Captcha. Using a Captcha library or the recently online captchator, I figured out this would be one of the quickest, most effective ways as an initial effort. The real problem is... who''s the maintainer of the Rails wiki? It doesn''t seem he''s here. Even if he''s here, where is he?> > Michael > www.mslater.com > > > > >-- Hendy Irawan Web: http://hendy.gauldong.net Mobile: +62 856 24889899 Yahoo Messenger: ceefour666 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ceefour --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
