Really every herd should be either part of a project or in the process of creating a new one for themselves by now.

Are there any wikis with the same kind of spam-protection that a lot of blogging software has, such as the crazy-looking picture you have to type the word from, and required registration with a valid email address? The combination of those two would do a lot to deter automated spamming, although a determined person could still do damage if they're sitting in front of the computer. Some wiki's also support ACLs, which could help in this respect. For example, xorg.freedesktop.org has some pages that are "immutable" and can only be edited by a few people.
