Dear K.,

Who is in charge of the Wiki? - there is some real issue with a
spammer (see English section).

I suggest you restrict access to fixed IP adresses to whoever requests
them. In Apache you can say:

  <Location /pjwiki>
    <Limit POST PUT>
      Order Allow,Deny
      Allow from 137.224
      Allow from wur.nl
      Allow from wau.nl
      Allow from xs4all.nl
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept POST PUT>
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      Deny from 61.149.114
      Deny from netvision.net.il
      Deny from 210.3.7
      Deny from 220.184.113
    </LimitExcept>
  </Location>

which allows viewing for all and editing from some. This goes against
the original Wiki spirit, but not much we can do. People can request
access this way.

Pj.
