[pydotorg-www] Jython wiki is still getting spammed

2011-04-25 Thread Skip Montanaro
The Jython wiki still gets spammed on a fairly regular basis. The TextChas seem not to be helping. The format of all the spam I've been deleting is roughly the same, so I'm pretty sure there's a bot at work. That suggests to me that either there is a human helper to get past the TextChas or the

[pydotorg-www] Spam on Jython wiki

The Jython wiki continues to get spammed, whereas the Python wiki seems not to, certainly not anything like happens to the Jython wiki. Is there some setup difference between the two that we've not accounted for? I recall that Martin added a feature to the Roundup instance a couple years ago whic

[pydotorg-www] Asking questions on wiki pages - unproductive?

2011-12-24 Thread Skip Montanaro
Some meme has taken up residence in the wiki which makes some people think that posing a question on a wiki page is a good idea. For instance: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Asking%20for%20Help/%27break%27%20outside%20loop I think it's a bad idea for a couple reasons. First, I don't think ver

Tweaking robots.txt seems like the simplest route. It would be nice if /3.[01]/index.html where visible through search engines but not anything underneath. I don't recall if robots.txt is a sharp enough tool to make that distinction. Following my original thought a bit further, I wondered how far
