I do have ssh access to the wiki server and would be happy to make any changes that people agree upon. I am currently running another mediawiki for Firmata (http://firmata.org). When the spambots started slamming it, I switched it so only logged in users could edit it, but then created a public account and posted that username and password on the wiki itself, see the bottom of this: http://firmata.org/wiki/Main_Page Now there is no more spam.
Ideally that public account would be posted on the login page so its easy to find. This system was used in the http://barcamp.org wiki for many years and worked there.
Thanks, Hans. Gets my vote.
