The Balloonboard Wiki has been upgraded to 1.7 along with the server
upgrade to Debian Lenny. 

This allows us to turn on textcapchas to keep the spammers at bay who
have been making a hell of a mess on the wiki for the last year or so.

This apears to have totally removed the wiki spam, and it is
accessible in a way that graphical captchas are not. However it's
still annoying to have to answer a question every time you change a
page so the TrustedUsersGroup page exists to turn them off for known
editors. Please poke me if you are making more than a couple of edits
and would like to be added to this page.

The static front pages of the site are in the process of being moved
into the wiki to make it easier to keep that part up to date (and stop
the project looking moribund, which is the impression the top-level
pages give.) If anyone is enthused to help with that job then you will
be most welcome, especially if you have moinmoin layout-foo.

Finally many thanx to Paul Boddie who has been doing sterling (if very
dull) work deleting spam manually for months. Hopefully he can have a
rest for a while now.
