The wiki that I used for OSCON is http://pbwiki.com
The features that made it awesome for "event registration" were:
- Per page passwords (we indicated what the password was in the body
of the page - at this point, bots don't seem to pick that up)
- When modifying a page, users are asked to enter their email address
and whether they want to be notified when the page changes
- Email to page creator/owners when pages are updated includes the
email address of the new users, making it easy to contact people
If the new "advocacy wiki" is in the postgresql.org namespace,
something with those features would most likely prevent the kind of
"porn + postgresql" synergy Greg mentioned earlier today.
Particularly, the per-page passwords seem to prevent spam. (of
course, its probably just a mater of time...)
Not that this will make Dave, Greg et al. feel much better, but I can
help moderate the new wiki-space.
