The problem most analyses have (not yours) is they don't break out of
the server paradigm. Really good wikis that I like tend to have
friendly bots visit their site and rollback spam. All the wiki admin
does is ensure those bot rollbacks aren't too annoying on the Recent
Changes page (maybe a grey color?), and some sane limits on editing.
For example:
http://www.nooranch.com/synaesmedia/wiki/wiki.cgi?RecentChanges
Now, I'm sure the c2 wiki does lots server-side too. But they're very
high-traffic and Ward/others seem willing to invest that time.
But now that Drewc has taken over the ALU wiki, it sounds like it's in
good hands. I mean really, the last owners didn't know that Dan was
hosting/adminning it. This appears to be an ideal solution for all
those involved, modulo that Santa beaming down at you. ;P
