Having had all links to ffconsultancy.com removed from Wikipedia (even my PhD thesis!), we discussed this at length in our company recently. Spammers and vandals are a major problem for Wikis. I think we dreamt up a good solution: replace the standard "type in these letters" with a Turing test. I think the questions should be hard. Anyone contributing to an OCaml Wiki should know some OCaml. The guy who put up a Wiki for SICP translations did this (albeit with trivial questions) and said that it worked very well. Perhaps this is a case for mod_caml? :-) -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. The F#.NET Journal http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/fsharp_journal/?e
