[Phpwiki-talk] Hashcash and phpwiki

[Alexandre D. <ad...@fo...>]

Dear,

I  was  wondering if  there  is any  plan  (or  existing patches)  for
supporting  'hashcash'[1]  for  phpwiki.  This  could be  one  of  the
solution to solve part of the spamming issue on wikis. 

Thanks for any feedback,

adulau

I've look into this a few years ago for an e-commerce app, and it looked 
interesting but every complicated, so I came up with my own simplier 
scheme then.

phpwiki editing already is very slow, and I don't think we want it to 
make another 2-5 secs slower.

For wiki's I believe PageChangeNotification, and maybe PageModeration 
suits better.
