I have this idea that I should be able to write a security policy for MoinMoin which uses SpamBayes to judge the appropriateness of any given submission. It would be more accurate and faster than the current default security policy in MoinMoin. I started to work on it and have something that seems to be working on the SpamBayes side of things, but I can't get the MoinMoin side of the equation to balance.
My messages to the moin-user mailing list have so far fallen on blind eyes, so I'm broadening my search for a MoinMoin expert who would like to help me finish off this demonstration. If you're interested in pursuing this idea here are a couple URLs: * The current code: http://spambayes.cvs.sourceforge.net/spambayes/spambayes/spambayes/MoinSecurityPolicy.py?view=log * My messages to moin-user: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.moin.general/4381/match=spambayes http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.moin.general/4488/match=spambayes The motivation for the concept is in the docstring of the module as well as in the messages, so I won't belabor the point here. As one of the current "editors" of the Python wiki I can tell you the current scheme of using lists of "naughty words" to identify potential wiki spam is far from perfect. There's also the motivation found here: http://www.publicradio.org/columns/futuretense/ Scroll down and listen to the February 1st episode.
