Spam on Women's Wiki
The main reason I have called for more moderators on the mailing list
is that we are getting an increasing amount of spam on the Women's
Wiki (around 5 a week at present) and I need some help killing it, the
notifications are coming through to the moderation list and, naturally
I don't want to allow them through.
Do we want to set up some spam control on the wiki? Anyone know how?

Looking at the Wiki, unless I am missing something I think there is not
anything relevant to Apache community there, just a few links off to
other projects women's groups and instructions on what not to do. I
think it would be safe to just shut down. Looking at the history Jean
Anderson and Noirin Plunkett added most of the content and I think they
are on this list. Jean, Noirin, do you think it is ok to shutdown the
women's wiki without migrating content or should we move those links
somewhere?
Thanks

I don't know how useful the content of the women's wiki is. I think
probably the Women's wiki could/should be shutdown as the women@ list
was and any helpful content for women and other's contributed to the
comdev website.

I'd suggest we do set it up - most of the other wikis have now enabled it,
and while it has probably put a few new people off, generally most people
accept it as long as requests to be added are turned around fast. (Doesn't
have to be incubator fast!)
The main thing we need to do is come up with a list of the initial admins,
who will grant karma as required. I'm happy to do it (NickBurch), I guess
Ross is happy to do so (RossGardler), can we have a third person? (I'll
need your wiki username)
When we have that, I can email infra and ask them to enable the config and
setup the initial groups
